    Mosses tend to like acidic conditions. Salt is alkaline and neutralises acidity.

    washing up liquid in water and sprayed on will kill it too. 2 fluid oz to a gallon. moss will turn orange/brown in 24 hours and eventually dry-up . salt as geoff says will help too for reasons given

    Right. I'l try both and see which does the job best/quickest.

    I've got moss and Ivy all over the garden. Both drive me nuts. Oh and the Brambles..

    Glyphosate weedkillers (as most are) kill ivy effectively. I have an ivy problem and it works. Once applied, nothing seems to happen for a week or two, then the ivy dies.

    I use an extra strength Glyco weed killer - bought in a concentrated form and added to water. I go through loads of it on the paths and to keep under control, the Bramble 'trees' growing in the field, the other side of our fence. Bloody stuff seems to grow about a foot per day and worms it's way through the fences and hedges.

    i get mine from my bro who has a small holding..about 8 acres so uses these things a lot. he mixes me some up ..takes a couple of weeks to start showing usually. he gets another one that works on the soil too. stops growth for about 6 months

    It is slow acting and I quite often give a couple of doses in desperation. It is very effective, eventually.
