Somewhat satisfying watching it in fast motion
I used lime it did the job, but first I aerated the area, sewed sun and shade seeds. Followed with starter fertilizer then used milo, and humic acid and watered 3 times a day. It turned out great. Dark green grass, lush and thick. Later added tenacity with surfactant and dye.
We’re glad you had success! Keep in mind that in some areas watering that much will just make the moss come back with a vengeance, so of course different lawns can require some different steps. Thanks for watching!
I did this with a power rake attachment on my Honda fg-110 tiller, which made quick work of removing the moss.
That is a great tool if you have it!
I am really enjoying this series... Really informative and entertaining... Please keep it up! Good Luck Man! I am rooting for you!
Thanks for watching Joseph! We are glad you are finding them enjoyable and informative. If there is something you think we should cover, let us know!
I also enjoy the series. I've been battling moss in my lawn since we moved in a few years ago. I found that killing the moss first and then dethatching the lawn works pretty well. You can either spray or spread granular moss killer- which i think is basically just iron, which is why it will stain your masonry a rust color. The moss killer is not too strenuous on the lawn unless you grossly over apply, it just turns your grass a nice dark green. At any rate, nice video and excellent series.
Thanks for watching and commenting! We are glad you found the series and are enjoying them. You are correct about the moss killer. Most moss killers on the market are made of iron. Good luck with your moss problems and if we can help in any way, feel free to give us a call! 866-581-7378
Thanks for this REAL video on how how to handle moss. I am a long time DoMyOwn customer. I usually pick up products from the Norcross location.
Thanks for your business and for watching!
You’re welcome
I have a thin layer of moss starting on bare ground next to the house where I cleared all grass and vegetation a few months ago to lay landscape fabric and river rock there. Do I need to kill that moss or will it die underneath the fabric and rock?
@@ATLTRANSPORTER2 You will want to treat the moss first. For moss in lawns we would recommend using the Lily Miller Moss Out in granules or liquid.
Great video. I need to tackle the same problem next weekends
Thank you. ..
Don't forget to core aerate, treat the soil with liquid seaweed, and consider overseeing afterwards. Then the new grass will crowd out the moss.
These steps can help in certain situations. We definitely recommend making sure the moss is clear and the soil is prepped before applying new seed.
You got a thumbs up but please, lose the annoying soundtrack. It's as loud as your voice and very distracting.
Yes, between the loud music and the traffic noise, difficult to hear the speaker.
That looks like a big take away from fishing boating on Lake Michigan and drinking beer I am beginning to like my soft green moss😎👍🍺🎶🎸🇱🇹🇺🇸Too much work for a weekend
What was the name of the product that you used to spray on the lawn?
In this video you didn't mentioned the chemical you pour into the back pack container that you sprayed on the moss.
Could you please tell me.
Thanks,

I have an erosion ditch that is forming due to my neighbors grading issue. Every time it rains his gravel ends up in my driveway. I’d like to hump that area a bit and transfer some of my moss to that area for suck up the water. Do you have any suggestions of how I can pull up the moss in somewhat large pieces for transfer?
I enjoyed your video and subscribed. However, I’d like to recommend that you edit out the background music when you speak. It’s a bit loud and distracting.
This is just a bit outside of our scope. You may want to contact your local extension office and ask for the master gardener to request tips on how to relocate moss and help it thrive.
You kind of need those trees to buffer some of that road noise is pretty loud from all of the cars in that background. It really comes through in the video.
What is that ground cover in the wood lines???
I have moss in my front yard and side yard. There is no shade or standing water like in your yard so what is up with that?
Thank you for your question. If shade or too much moisture is not an issue for you, perhaps compacted soil is causing favorable conditions for moss to grow. Compacted soils stop nutrients, water and air from reaching the roots of grass but does not stop the growth of the moss. Aerating the soil in the impacted area should help reduce or stop the growth of the moss. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
DoMyOwnPestControl.com Thanks for your reply, I'll check that out
You are most welcome! Thanks again for watching!
Great video! I have some Moss in my lawn that I'm looking to get rid of. The lawn in that area actually still looks very good.....but there is still quite a bit of moss. Would using the power rake to get rid of the moss pretty much destroy the existing lawn?
+Chris Connors thanks for watching and the comment! Using a power rake will "scar" up the lawn. It will make it seem as though you killed it but have no fear. If you have grads pretty well established, and you help feed and boost it with fertilizers and water, it should with stand the beating! Hope that helps and hope we can be your source for lawn care needs and products! Best of luck with your lawn.
I like this episode. How quickly can you plant grass seed after removing the moss?
The tricky thing about planting grass where moss has grown is that the soil usually is usually acidic, compacted, damp, and shady. So you want to be sure all of those contributing factors are addressed before you try to plant grass or another plant in an area where moss has been growing. This may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on your situation.
Moss roots are dependent on bacteria. A mix of mouthwash and water should be enough. A guy named jerry ??? Taught me that. May take a while. Spray bottle should do it. Natural and not too harsh.
ytgodzilla . Most mouthwashes are not natural.
@@susanmetz9892 true
Does applying Dawn dish soap work in your opinion? Seen a few videos applying that.
We have heard some folks use dish soap as a surfactant. We cannot recommend it, because there is not enough research behind it. We recommend a product like Non Ionic Surfactant www.domyown.com/nonionic-surfactant-for-herbicides-p-1771.html to be mixed with most herbicides that that are labeled for it.
Shame there is no responses to these comments, so maybe someone else can answer for me, why is it not just easier to rotivate it, rake the soil flat and just start again?
Having tried a few different methods now, the best way is to hit it with some elbow grease to rake out all that you can, then hit it with some moss killer. Wait awhile for the moss killer to do what it can do, then rake it out again. I still have it in the yard, even after doing all of that. I have to figure out a better way to drain the area of water and get more sunlight and air back there. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I think I will have it a little easier as my yard is on a slope with few shallow dips. Thanks for the great vids m8
How To Sand A Floor good luck! Let us know hot turns out for you and you are most welcome!
I live in Texas is it too early to remove the moss? I need to
Scalp the Bermuda the first of spring I think.
You can use a moss removal product just about anytime temperatures are above freezing. Wet, warm conditions will favor moss growth the most, so you usually get best results after rainfall or in very warm, dry weather.
lol cant believe u even tried using a rake. i was actually surprised how long it took u to call it quits lol
although, i did use a thatch rake on my front yard last year. thankfully its small as hell. but i knew i wasnt gonna even use it again. i only finished cause i was sure the neighbors were prolly watching me through their windows lol
Get rid of music
What time of year was this? Can I start this process in February?
Where do you live? It will depend on your location, climate, grass type, all of that good stuff.
What machine are you using here?
This machine is called a power rake or motorized dethatcher.
Ferrous sulfate?
Yes, most moss control products have some kind of iron sulfate to kill the moss. You can browse our Algae and Moss Control products here: www.domyown.com/algae-moss-control-c-59_188_409.html
funny advises
use a lawn mower to bag the clippings,you made a small job into a big job for no reason
Unfortunately, that isn't really feasible in this situation. The moss tends to be be moist and heav, so a lawn mower bag is just too small for the job.
Good God that's a lot of moss....
can’t hear you talk over the music
How about killing all that ivy that's growing on those trees??? Aren't you worried that they are going to die and fall on your house?
We aren’t sure of Paul’s plans yet for The Jungle. Since this series has been focused on the lawn, we have covering those topics first. Creeping vines like this are pretty common in Georgia, but certainly if it’s out of hand that is another great topic to cover. Thanks for watching and for commenting!
What is your backpack sprayer of choice?
Without a doubt, it is this one!
www.domyown.com/chapin-backpack-sprayer-gal-20v-lithium-black-decker-battery-63980-p-14123.html
Automated constant spray pattern and battery life is great!
use moss out,,1 application kills it
Dude. Let the moss grow. It's so great lol.
I love moss :(
why not just have a moss yard?
I think it is ugly. I mean come on, moss over Turf Type Tall Fescue? no question in my book! lol
I sort of like the look also.
I spread dry brown leaves over the yard, lit it on fire, and burned the yard down to the dirt. You think I'm kidding, my neighbors know that I'm not.
In some areas, this could land you in some "hot water" with the local authorities. If I did this in my area, I would probably get arrested.
But, I really like the idea. Probably good for the soil as well.
Oh dear....I’d be afraid if I were your neighbor.
Would love to have watched the vid all the way through ... but there's no way I'm listening to that foolish, pointless drumming for 8.55 mins! I'm out of here!
Pretty sure your 25 sec of drone flying intro is dumb
I'll take a natural moss "problem" and trees ("jungle") over an awful chemical monoculture suburban lawn that all these generic people love to worship (and waste time mowing constantly).
I think u may have a bigger ivy problem
