No coverage area was specified, but it is probably not needed since this is only used as a spot spray. If you are going to use it, try a solution of 2 to 3 tablespoons baking soda/quart of water and apply it on warm, sunny days. Testing by Penn State found that it is suitable for spot spraying, but that it will also burn your lawn. This is a common recommendation, and it does work, to some extent. You can expect other dish soaps to be just as ineffective. Translation – it does not work very well. This product is not labeled for moss control in turf and probably never will be.” Inconsistent results and burning of turf may be a concern when using Dawn Ultra. Penn State did some testing using Dawn Ultra and reports that, “during summer and fall, using different rates, timings, and water dilution rates yielded poor moss control. Here is a common problem with many of these recommendations – how big of an area does this gallon cover? Without an area specified, it is a useless recommendation. The moss is reported to go brown and die. Mix 2 ounces of Dawn Ultra dish soap into 1 gallon of water and spray your lawn. When wet it can get heavy and may result in broken branches in windy weather. In wet climates, moss grows on every tree in the forest, including vey large ones that are hundreds of years old. In the southern hemisphere, moss tends to grow on the south side of trees – the shady side. It simply lives on the surface to the bark. Moss growing on a tree may keep the bark wetter, which could lead to problems, but for the most part the moss does not harm trees.
But in areas with enough moisture, moss grows all around the tree. The excess moisture makes moss grow better.
The north side of trees tend to get less light and therefore will hold moisture longer. Moss grows where it gets the essentials of life and it has no internal compass. Moss myth – moss only grows on the north side of a tree Keep it misted until the moss is well established. Then use a paint brush to cover any surface where you want moss to grow.
How do you propagate moss? A simple and common method is to take some live moss, put it in a blender with some buttermilk or yogurt, and blend it up into a slurry. Some people even use moss to replace their lawn.
It ages a stone wall or arbor, and makes the garden look more mature. Moss adds a nice touch to rocks especially near a waterfall. This proverb is not a myth, but it is such a cool story I had to include it. Sure enough, the rolling stones gathered no moss while the stationary ones started growing moss. It was the longest test in the shows history. Half were tumbled continuously for six months, the equivalent of rolling 100 miles, and the other half were left stationary. Stones were covered with a buttermilk-moss solution. This is a very old proverb that was tested by the MythBusters TV show.
