Getting rid of moss from cobblestones is not easy. Instead of reaching for strong chemical agents, try this homemade method, which is just as effective. All you need is water and a spray bottle for this product. The moss will disappear.

How do you get rid of moss from cobblestones? This question is often asked by people who own single-family homes and gardens. Moss, an important element of the forest floor, is not desirable between cobblestones. To make it disappear in a few days, try this simple, homemade trick with water and this product.

How to get rid of moss from cobblestones?

Moss on cobblestones destroys the surface and is very slippery, which can lead to an unfortunate accident. If it has appeared on your home sidewalk, grab these products and remove them as quickly as possible.

One way to remove moss from cobblestones is to mix white vinegar with water in a 2:1 ratio, then transfer the mixture to a spray bottle. Shake the mixture well and spray it over the moss-covered areas. It's best to do this generously and not skimp on the solution.

You can use undiluted vinegar if there's a considerable amount of moss. It will work faster and more effectively. The moss will be burned off this way and disappear after a few days. If not, apply the same trick a week later. Do not use it more than once a week.

Moss on the lawn? Try this

There are also simple and proven methods if you're fighting moss that constantly grows on your lawn. One of them is wood ash - from the fireplace or bonfire. Ash contains many valuable substances, such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, essential for proper grass growth. Spread it on the lawn, and you'll see the moss disappear like magic. It will also enhance the colour and condition of the grass.

Iron sulfate is another product that will help remove moss from the lawn. It's similar in effect. The sulfate contains iron and sulfur, which lower the soil's pH. Spread iron sulfate over the lawn's surface; after two or three days, the moss will turn black. Then, you need to rake it out.
