I have a large nouns of lawn that suffers a lot of shade. Unfortunately it have been taken over by moss which is now spreading over the rest of the pasture. Should I just leave it...at lowest it's green or try and remove it?
Get a chisel and scrape it off!


Well depends, I personally would love a moss patch but I know they can be slippery, do you use that area? you can buy shade tolerent grasses but do you want to move about to the trouble, as you said it is green, and costing you nothing! It's up to you if you want to remove the moss as moss is pretty to some people and not so pretty to others. I'd save the moss as the moss keeps more (ob)noxious weeds approaching crabgrass from growing!
Answers:    I have the same problem...be dealing with it for years...shade + moisture (or constant moist soil)=moss.

other than completely striping the soil and replacing it in attendance isn't too much you can do other than try to control it.

Scotts makes a fertilizer beside a moss control ingredient...about $15.00 to treat 5,000 sq feet. It does work...simply drawback is it's a temporary fix. I apply the moss control in mid may and am arranged for a late application now.

Along next to the moss control (Scotts) I am experimenting with letting the grass grow higher between mowings... and it does seem to be to be helping...keeping the grass higher seems to allow the root system to expand and next to the moss control...hopfully expanding into the mossy areas. My back yard be the worst...and four months into this process has seen a explicit improvement (less moss, lush lawn)

some people do close to the feel and look of moss...and in a sense I do to...but...moss will grow and cover EVERYTHING save controlled.
