moss on wall

newbie1956

I have a garden wall thats dashed and painted but there is a good bit of moss on it which seems to grow between the pebbles. any ideas as to how can I get rid of this?

masonry moss killer. There's quite a few available in hardware stores.

Or just enjoy your nice mossy wall. You know, instead of poisoning the little bit of nature that has managed to find a foothold on your property.

If you move the wall to face south that should be the end of the moss problem.

I'm sorry but sometimes we paint our homes and walls because we like them looking that way. I'll keep mine the colour I wish while providing a wealth of natural habits within the garden.

A spray bottle of water and biological washing powder should take care of it, note that no matter what you have to do you will need to brush it off

I hope the brushing dont take off many pebbles

It's rarely a good idea to scrub pebbledash

If a light brushing with a long bristled yard brush is taking off pebbles then you were probably going to lose them anyway tbh.

Good point. i have to get the moss killer this week so id think its gonna be a couple of weeks after before it would be dead and ready for brushing off

If you go the washing powder route it will be dead within a few days and should some off pretty easily
