Moss...

One more question.

What about dealing with Moss?  My neighbors mentioned putting lime down in the Fall.  Is this a losing battle.  We have a few oak trees in the yard.  Other than that, the soil back in that area doesn't seem too bad (although I don't know how deep it is).

Thanks,
Hippo

Moss is an indicator of acidic soil.  Lime will be the smart thing - but how much?  Best to have your pH tested.

I think I will finally get the ph tested.  It is $7 here, so not to bad I suppose.

I had bought one of those ph testers 2 years back (the type with the probe that you stick in the ground), but it was always hovering around neutral.  I always felt that thing wasn't really working properly....
