What does sphagnum moss eat?
Sphagnum moss grows mainly in Canada, US in Wisconsin, New Zealand, Japan and China. In North America at one time the sphagnum plant covered most of the northern hemisphere, but was killed as glaciers scraped deep into the earth as it moved south. Long fibered sphagnum moss is the tan/brown-colored perennial plant that still exists today in the US in harvest-able quantities only in the central counties of Wisconsin (Jackson and Monroe counties). It takes 5-10 years to grow back depending on the severity of the winters and the length of time that the plant is under water during the summer growing season. Sphagnum peat moss is the dead and decaying sphagnum plant. It is not renewable and is normally cut from the earth. Large sphagnum peat harvesting areas are in Michigan and Canada. Long fibered sphagnum plants are destroyed before or during the peat harvest process. Peat moss can be any type of decayed plant life, not just sphagnum.

Does dawn kill moss?
"YES"... 4 oz dawn ultra, the blue liquid, ( not the anti-bacterial), 4oz to 1 gallon of warm water..

Why does moss keep growing back?
Moss is a shallow rooted plant that covers the ground, smothering grass and exhausting food reserves from the soil. It grows most actively in late fall and winter, especially during mild, wet weather with overcast skies. Moss spreads by a variety of methods. Most species produce small capsules above the leafy part of the plant containing spores. These spores are easily dispersed by wind, water or traffic. After coming into contact with soil, they germinate and form a plant-like structure that is the first stage in the development of moss. Moisture and minerals are absorbed by rhizoids (similar to roots) and produce new buds which give rise to new stems. To control moss, use something like Scotts Turf Builder with Moss control. It will get rid of the moss (the active ingredient is a type of iron) and since the product is also a fertilizer, it will help make your grass healthy so that the moss does not come back.
