VITAX Moss Remover 100SQM

Product Information

Using a scarifier is a highly recommended way to remove moss from your lawn. In smaller spaces, a thorough rake over will do the same thing. (Image credit: Getty) What chemical products will eradicate moss in lawns? No rake moss killers are granular products that contain large amounts of potassium. The potassium encourages a bacteria called Bacillus, to grow. As the bacteria thrive they consume the moss. The main ingredient in moss removers is also an essential element in lawn fertilisers and this helps the lawn to thrive.

The hardest part of using No Rake Moss Killers is applying the moss remover to the lawn. Once you have done this, using a fertiliser spreader, you need to leave the grass alone and let the product do the job.

We’ll be expanding our lawncare range over time, with new products constantly being added to our range.’ A lawn scarifier is a machine designed to remove 'thatch' from your lawn. This is a thin layer of old grass stems, dead moss and things like leaves. This layer can become compacted onto your lawn and prevents water and nutrients penetrating the soil beneath —they are available as manual models as well as electric and basically replace the need for raking.

A variety of different types are available.’ Autumn Statement: State pension confirmed to rise by 8.5% from April 2024 – while some benefits will go up by 6.7% It contains a much lower nitrogen content than many other moss killers/lawn feeds, which avoids an undesirable growth spurt for grass over winter. Instead, the root systems are fortified, resulting in stronger grass that is less likely to let moss overpower it. The 4 kg box covers between 40 – 100 m² depending on application; it can be applied in a more concentrated way if the lawn is in very bad condition, or more sparingly on a standard lawn. In terms of price, the smaller coverage of this box makes it slightly less value for money than some other products featured here, but it does come with the reassurance of improving lawn health without using harsh chemicals. In some cases, it might be the condition of your grass that could be causing the moss to take hold. Patchy or thin grass gives moss the space to grow so needs to be remedied at all costs. Long dry spells, too much shade, cutting your grass too short, too much footfall and soil that is depleted of nutrients can all be reasons for sparse grass.For these products we offer a delivery service Local to Trowell Garden Centre, delivering with our own transport.

In addition, when the moss dies off in the warmer summer months, it often leaves ugly bald patches. What causes moss in lawns? I only have one issue with “no rake” lawn moss products; I found they are slow to act and when I tested them and I had to apply several doses and overseed a couple of times.

In fact, there’s generally very little raking required after treatment, thanks to its specially-designed formula.

I also overseeded at the same time and the seed germinated just as the moss was breaking down and decaying. I found that applying it was easy, I just diluted the powder in my watering can and applied it evenly to the lawn. The Proctors Lawn Feed Moss Killer achieves better coverage than other products sold in a similarly-sized container; this is because it is made up of ‘micro-granules’ that are more compact than standard granules. The product goes further, and these granules are also less likely to clog in a spreader than those of traditional size.
