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.
