I would like to take a semi-shady spot in my garden and plant mosses. Anyone have any idea where I might begin to learn more than I do about them? Has anyone had any experience with such an arrangement? Any info welcome.
Mosses like acidic shady moist soil. I have a hard time controlling moss and usually use lime to keep it in check. I haven't tried it, but I've read a few articles that describe blending moss with buttermilk in equal amounts and using this mix to paint rocks, logs, and concrete garden statues.
Some moses grow on limestone, too. Rather than _buying_ a moss that may not do in your area, you will do better to take a walk in the woods, or along a drainage ditch, or seepage area, and scrape up bits of what grows in your area and climate. Try to give it a home that as nearly alike to where you collected it as possible.
