Use moss for the decor of a garden or courtyard - the idea is not new, but very tempting. She has a lot of fans. Moss looks beautifully between the stones on the tracks, between the bricks. True, the moss successfully can be grown only on a flat or inclined surface. With the vertical it will come back in the end. Another plus in the moss decoration - it should be planted only once, then he will grow himself.
And everywhere where you want.
Beautiful, is not it?
All kinds of moss are good and feel in cool and wet places - well, everyone knows about it. Unexpected for me was the urgent council of specialists, to look for a moss for breeding next to the place where we plan to plant it.
From useful knowledge: Moss does not have roots and therefore should be close to the ground to absorb moisture. Moss can grow where high plants can not. So considers William Cullina, director of gardening of the Botanical Garden. That is, Moss will grow where there is too much shadow, on the stones of the courtyard, on the big boulders there. In some places, Moss is ideal for lawns.
If you are lucky and moss grows itself on your sites, let it grow, remove all the grass near and get a chic lawn.
To help MSh, when he grows, you need to clean all the twists, sticking leaves and other garbage, which can strangle the moss. As well as bushes that will interfere with MSh to turn into a beautiful carpet.
So, we go to the forest next to the plot, search and collect moss. I remind you: the conditions in which we want to put our moss should most of them coincide with those where he grew up to us. If, for example, it grows on sandy soil, remember what we have :-)
There are two main ways to transplant the moss: a) you can take patches or moss strips and literally put them on a stone or surface, and ultimately moss will spread and grow by itself. Remove moss (literally scraping) with stump, tree or stone and glue (understandable, hot glue) Its place where we need it to grow.
b). But there is another way: to make a mossy rampant, having prepared a special paste.
General recommendations: if we need moss to grow on the ground (lawn), we collect that moss that grows on the soil. If we need for stone, we collect moss with stones.
STRUCTURE:
2 cups of fresh moss
1 1/2 up to 2 glasses of water
1/2 cup of beer (as beer works, no one knows, but there is a result (I, by the way, read more that you can take a kefir), but theoretically it is believed that the Sahara Patherty or Beer helps the MSh at the first time).
1 teaspoon of hyaluronic acid (crystals are sold in nurseries, as well as they can be found in disposable diapers)
Instructions: Soak the crystals in a cup of warm water by 5 - 10 minutes, until they do all the water. Then put in a blender moss, swollen crystals and beer. Grind to the state of pasta, but not to turn into a liquid.
Then brush to apply to the surface (stone, board, stump, soil, between stones), in short where we need. Spray with water sprayer. Little. Everything. We are waiting for the results!
