We live in central Florida and we have an overabundance of moss. My dad has a wonderful veggie garden. It is dry and sandy land that has a lake front. It is very dry and he waters everyday. Is thre some way to use this moss in this gardern wheter we mulch or compaost it? We are working with some hay (we have to buy it) but we have lots of moss.

Which moss do you have? "Spanish" moss that grows in trees, or the green carpet types of moss that grow on soil?
Either one can be composted and many people do use the "spanish" moss as mulch.
