Moss is a small flowerless plant that has no true roots, stems or leaves and can grow in areas where most other plants cannot, but it's most common in lawns and on patios and paving slabs
Monty Don has shared a smart trick to remove moss from lawns resulting in grass 'growing back thicker than ever'. Moss, being small and flowerless with no true roots, stems or leaves, can grow in areas where most other plants cannot - it's commonly found on lawns, patios and paving slabs.
For this task, gardeners can use a garden fork like the one available at B&Q for £10.99 or choose this garden fork from Gardening Express for £21.99. Simply disperse your selected mix across the area where you've created holes and use a rigid broom to fill the openings with the mixture, which will "help drainage and feed the grass".
He said: "This will get at all the overwintering thatch and moss, and let light and water get to the soil and to the roots of the grass."
