Moss Remover 5kg

FAQs

What’s the difference between Flower Power Premium Moss Remover and Flower Power Lawn Feed, Weed & Mosskiller?

Moss Remover is organic based. It contains special plant nutrients that gently feed the lawn, while also having an indirect action against moss, which as it dies, is gradually eaten by the natural bacteria. Lawn Feed, Weed & Mosskiller contains inorganic fertilisers and kills the moss using iron sulphate. It also contains a weedkiller. There’s no need to rake out the dead moss when using Moss Remover, but you will with Lawn Feed, Weed & Mosskiller.

In which order do I use Moss Remover, Lawn Magic and reseeding any gaps that result?

Use Moss Remover first. As the nutrients in Moss Remover feed the lawn for up to 12 weeks, there shouldn’t be any need to apply Lawn Magic before this. But keep an eye on the lawn, and if you think it does need a feed during this time, it will be fine to do so.

We recommend waiting for one month after applying Moss Remover before doing any re-seeding. This is not only because you need to wait roughly this amount of time to see how much bare space appears due to the moss dying, but also because – as it contains plant feed, and the bacteria return nutrients to the soil – the existing grass may grow back to fill in the bare gaps anyway! This obviously depends on the amount and quality of the existing grass and the amount of moss present initially.

What happens if I apply Moss Remover at temperatures below 10C?

Providing the SOIL temperature (it’s soil temperature, not air temperature) only dipped below 10C for a few hours – rather than extended periods of days – it shouldn’t adversely affect Moss Remover. The bacteria will just sit dormant and should come back into life when temperatures increase. You should wait at least three to four weeks to see if the moss starts to die before re-applying it.

I have a couple of questions. Should I give the lawn a cut before use and if so how long should I wait before applying? After applying, how long should I wait before cutting the grass?

We recommend cutting the grass before applying Moss Remover, as this will make it easier to get it into the top of the soil where it’s needed to work. You can apply it straight afterwards. Don’t mow the lawn for 7-10 days afterwards.

After treating the lawn with Moss Remover, can the grass cuttings be put in the compost bin for composting?

Yes, absolutely. There is nothing in Moss Remover that will have any effect on the grass clippings to make them unsuitable for composting.

Can I use Moss Remover with Flower Power Lawn Feed, Weed & Mosskiller and Lawn Magic together?

They shouldn’t be applied at the same time – as this will overfeed the lawn – but they can be used in tandem to produce a beautiful lawn. Moss Remover does a great job in March. Then around mid-April, when the weeds start to grow, use Lawn Feed, Weed & Mosskiller to kill any remaining moss, give the lawn a feed and, crucially, kill the weeds. From the end of May, if the weeds have all gone, start to use Lawn Magic, but if any weeds remain or have just emerged, use Lawn Feed, Weed & Mosskiller once more, then start using Lawn Magic from July onwards.

Are there any precautions I need to take, as I have some young shrubs growing in my lawn?

Providing you follow the instructions on the container and keep Moss Remover on the grass, there will be no problems with your shrubs.

Will Moss Remover work on moss in my flowerbeds and on paths?

Moss Remover is formulated to only be used on grass lawns.

Is Moss Remover pet and children safe?

As Moss Remover only contains plant nutrients and a natural bacteria that only attacks moss, then it is perfectly safe to pets, animals, wildlife etc. But, as with any lawn treatment, it makes sense to keep any animals off the turf while it is being applied and until it is watered in, to prevent them getting any of the dry material on their paws or in their hair, to prevent them carrying it around with them.

If I treat my lawn with Moss Remover, will it be OK for pet rabbits to eat the grass afterwards?

There is nothing in Moss Remover that has been shown to have any adverse effects on any animals.

Can I apply Moss Remover in a lawn spreader?
