Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

My Moss tray worked!

13 years ago

I saw this beautiful patch of moss near my lawn few months back and had it put on some mud. I found another moss patch and made the moss buttermilk slurry and spread on some orchid bark. It got fungus and then fungus gnats. I had it covered in a plastic grocery store bag to keep the fungus gnats contained and thought I would get rid of it later. I completely forgot all about it and then came upon it today.

yay!!!

I had a similar experience. Leaving moss, soil and bark or deadwood in a closed plastic container untouched for some months does wonders.
