Dog eating moss

We have a lab/german shorthair mix who eats a lot of disgusting things given the chance. I recently potted a large houseplant and put sphagnum moss on the top. The next morning I found moss and dirt all around the plant and he was crunching a bit when I came down. I removed all the moss (it was organic, thank goodness) and he kept digging for any bits he could find...dirt mess around plant daily. So I dug out 2+ inches of dirt and replaced it with new potting soil. He still keeps digging for any schnibble he can find. I'm thinking I need to line the pot with river rocks and spray with bitter apple. Any other thoughts on deterring him? (Besides his crate??) He's 9 and I thought he'd be past this craziness by now.
