Westland’s Moss Master is a natural moss remover and feed that will feed your lawn for three months and also remove moss without any blackening. The treated moss will turn brown as it dies but then will be broken down by the microbes in the product. The fertiliser in Moss Master will then green up the grass and encourage healthy growth.
Why use this natural moss remover?
NO RAKE REQUIRED
When moss dies in a lawn it can build up along with dead grass to form a spongy layer in the grass called thatch. The thatch layer can make it hard for the grass to grow and thicken. It can also keep new seeds away from the soil surface. You would normally have to rake (scarify) dead moss and thatch to remove it which can be hard work. Moss Master contains a blend of clever microbes, selected for their ability to break down thatch on lawns. This process would happen naturally in a healthy lawn, but where thatch has built up the lawn can be lacking in this type of microbe. When the dead moss and thatch has broken down it releases nutrients that can be used by the grass.
NO BLACK PATCHES
Most traditional lawn products that offer moss control will contain a substance called ferrous sulphate. This is a nutrient that when applied at a specific rate will effectively kill moss. If traditional moss products are spilt onto other surfaces and get wet then the iron can transfer which can cause rust stains on hard surfaces like patios. The downside of the ferrous (iron) based moss treatments is that they will cause the moss to turn black as part of the killing action. This can be unsightly especially if a lot of moss is present. Moss Master offers a secondary action on moss as the fertiliser content of the product creates drier conditions that the moss does not like.
FAST 7 DAY GREENING
Moss Master’s formulation comprises of both mineral and organic elements. The mineral elements will dissolve when the granule is wetted and will be immediately available to the grass. The organic elements will require breaking down by microbes in the soil. This will therefore release the nutrients to the grass roots. This enables the formulation to offer results for up to 3 months from a single application. The application rate can be customised to ensure the correct amount of product is applied to the lawn to suit the feeding or moss removal goals.
