This is a really nice idea, especially for a yard with a lot of tree trunks, just below the surface.

Charming. Not likely to work in the Southwest, though.

The key, according to this article in the New York Times, is crappy soil, acidity, a bit of moisture, and moss spores. But in our opinion, the best thing about planting large areas of moss is that you get to use a blender. If you can't find or afford to buy large amounts of moss, you can take a smaller amount and chop it up with a bit of water and beer or buttermilk. This adds the acidity moss likes. Then, spread the green slime over some bare soil or rocks, mist with water now and then (or just locate your garden, like ours, in Portland, Oregon), and wait a while. lol. That's my yard, all right.

Installing is Easy!
