Garden Moss - How To Make Moss On Your Landscape Rocks and Garden Statues
Moss can make some garden elements and even entire shady gardens
look and feel aged and established. The trouble with garden moss
though, is that sometimes it may not even grow at all on its
own. And if it does, it could take a very long time to become
established.
Here's a way you can accelerate and establish a beautiful green
moss cover over your garden rocks and concrete features. This
method doesn't work well on resin statues and artificial
landscape rocks.
First stir a fist size clump of porcelain clay into 3 cups of
water to form a thin paste. You can usually get porcelain clay
from local hobby shops.
Then combine the clay mixture with one cup of undiluted fish
emulsion and one cup of fresh, shredded moss. Fish emulsion is a
plant fertilizer made from whole fish. It's usually available at
retail nurseries and garden centers.
Mix everything
together and paint it on your rocks and concrete
objects with a paint brush. Keep things in the garden slightly
moist by misting and taking care not to wash the mixture off.
Remember that moss grows naturally in patches, likes the North
side of objects, and takes readily to cracks and crevices.
Use this formula in shady gardens and in moist locations and you
can most probably have moss on your garden statues and landscape
rocks in a few weeks.
