Alternatively, gardeners might consider scarification as a weedkiller-free approach to tackling moss.
The RHS website explains: “Remove loose moss in autumn (September/October), by scarification (vigorous raking).
“On small lawns this can be done by hand, raking out the moss with a spring-tine rake, but on larger lawns mechanical scarifiers can be hired.
“Non-chemical, bacteria-based products such as Viano MO Bacter Organic Lawn Fertiliser, Neudorff Organic CleanLawn and Miracle-Gro Evergreen No Rake claim good control of moss, as well as feeding the lawn.
