You will create unfavorable growing conditions and have to correct it. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

If those yellow book covers came with something like "Turf Management for Idiots" it would be a perfect combo.

If you have moss, something's out of balance. I'd recommend getting the soil tested by your county extension office and they'd give you the knowlege as to what actually is out of whack. Does that area of your lawn get enough sunlight and does it drain well?
