Generally not. Moss growth is influenced by other conditions, such as shade, poor drainage, soil compaction, poor fertility (although moss grows quite well on fertile lawns) and very acid soils. Although lime will neutralize soil acidity, the other factors that promote moss growth remain the same. Several chemicals are available for moss control. Follow label recommendations for rate and method of application.

Lime is calcium oxide applied in granular form. Lime helps improve lawn color and density, controls thatch, and increases root development. Lime balances the pH levels in the soil that have been affected by the fertilizer applications throughout the year.

A - Moss in a lawn is usually a cultural problem. Conditions such as too much shade, poor fertility, thatch build-up, soil compaction, and over-watering contribute to moss growth. The first step is to evaluate and correct any of these conditions. If chemical treatment is necessary for severe moss infestation, rake out as much moss as possible and apply a moss control product containing ferrous sulfate. Chemical control will be temporary unless underlying cultural conditions are corrected. See similar questions...

A lime render is a coating of lime-based material that was traditionally applied over rough, unsightly brickwork or rubblestone masonry walls. Non-hydraulic lime stuccos and hydraulic lime stuccos are common lime-based renders. In addition to these traditional applications, lime renders can restore some measure of protection to masonry buildings that have been sandblasted. (Sandblasting a masonry building is incredibly damaging. See similar questions...

First, if the reason you want to get rid of them is because of noise, take a moment to realize just how many mosquito bites you ARE NOT getting thanks to these big-eyed creatures! Most gardeners will tell you what a blessing it is to find a toad living in the garden because these are the best natural pesticide you can imagine! (They don't hurt plants, and eat the bugs!) Plus, you'll probably find that frogs make noise only for short seasons and usually folks get used to it and are sad when the b. See similar questions...

Good luck! Once crows have decided to come to your yard, it might be hard to convince them to leave. Plastic owl decoys will work, ... for about 15 minutes. A dog could be more effective, especially if it was encouraged to chase them. If, however, something really special was attracting the crows to the yard (like readily available food), the crows probably would figure a way how to get it and avoid the dog. The idea is to make the yard an unattractive place for the crows. See similar questions...

First of all, chances are extremely low that you'd ever get spores in your house. If you did, the spores would be very difficult to kill. But that's OK. The spores exist naturally throughout the United States. They're out there, along with many benign vacteria and other, virulent bacteria. See similar questions...

Yard waste recycling is important for Fairfax County's environment because it reduces the amount of material destined for disposal while providing soil-improving properties to lawns and gardens. Fairfax County encourages property owners to recycle yard debris on their own property. Also, trash collection companies are required to offer yard waste removal services, and you can contact your collector for more information on those services. See similar questions...

Another form of recycling is composting. Composting is the controlled biological decomposition of organic matter, such as food and yard wastes, into humus, a soil-like material. Composting is nature's way of recycling organic wastes into new soil used in vegetable and flower gardens, landscaping, and many other applications. To learn more about composting, click here. Grasscycling, the practice of leaving grass on a lawn after mowing, is an effective way to deal with grass clippings. See similar questions...

The best possible way is to trap them in a cage trap and relocate the animals. Havahart has a live cage trap sized for chipmunks. Please go to the Havahart live cage traps list for more information. See similar questions...

First, don't view problems negatively. Look upon them as training grounds in vital skills, and enjoy them even as you learn from them. When you face a problem, focus on what can be the solution rather than complaining. Be a part of the solution and not a victim of the problem. See similar questions...

Lime mortar will not cure a problem caused by poor detailing on the property, such as undersized gutters, a lack of a roof overhang, outside ground levels that are higher than floor levels or capped unventilated chimney stacks. They will however allow walls to dry out after problems such as this have built up high damp levels within walls and they will allow the wall to be able to breathe again. See similar questions...

In the meantime, you can try the Kyoto spores available at many nurseries. You can get a tree that already has moss on it (hopefully, locally grown). You can try transplanting moss from other locations, such as a damp and shady spot on the other side of your house. You can set your pots near a bonsai that has moss growing on it and hope that the wind will carry viable spores to your trees. See similar questions...
