My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

moss and clover

19 years ago

Hi

Am I correct in assuming that, in terms of ph preference, moss and clover are at the opposite end of the sprectrum?

I have a tricky patch near a tall cedar hedge. It is very damp in the spring and there is plenty of moss. When wet, it and any grass that grows there pretty much slides off the soil unless you step carefully. But by this time of year it dries out and there are bare patches. It gets about four hours of sun.

I am sowing clover in other areas of the lawn. Am I correct in assuming that, if moss grows in this spot, clover is NOT likely to get along there?

C.
