How do you make moss grow in the shaded places in your yard?

Answer 1

I have had great success using this method for growing moss in my shady/part sun areas. Make sure that you do not get rain onto it for at least 1 week. Do small areas at a time and tarp over the new area. RECIPE FOR GROWING MOSS Handful Moss

Add 1/2 tsp. sugar and one can of beer (the cheapest brand). Step 3:

Blend just long enough to mix the ingredients and break down the moss. Step 4:

Spread the soupy mixture with a spatula over the ground or rocks where

you want the moss to grow. Keep rain off of it for at least a week. Good Luck And Enjoy Your Gardens!

Answer 2

There are many varieties of grass, some preferring sun and some tolerating shade. Varieties such as dog-ear grow well in shade. If you are growing a new lawn, you can buy a special seed mixture for shaded areas. Unfortunately, turf suppliers normally only supply grass for open lawns. If you have an existing lawn that is suffering because of shade, rake it well in spring and autumn and add some seed for shade tolerant grass.

If the shade is from trees, the grass will need to be watered regularly since the trees tend to keep the rain off the grass and take all the moisture from the soil.
