Patience in all aspects!

Plus wire and some glue for rocks and slabs and such...

Busy all winter makes for a quick spring!

Cool, spray some onto a patch of moss so it dries on it, should have moss fibers stuck into it, pre-planted! Could even pour a smoothie on the moss first right?

I don't think I missed a joke anywhere....

A smoothie?

My daughter always wants to make smoothies so I may do just that!

People use yoghurt to grow moss, like buttermilk. Yoghurt is often in smoothies. Kinda half joke half serious.

Ah...I heard of mayo but not yogurt.

I have never made a real smoothie!

Nice.

Smooth.

So, while the foam can still be bitchin', I haven't gotten around to needing it for anything else , not trying to dry up the can, or use it entirely for moss....

But anyway....

This new material.
The material that we ALL know retains moisture and has excellent moss growing capabilities....

The strips they put between the curbs and the sidewalk, or between a building and a slab, or between any large slabs.

This stuff here behind my Glassy Mosscent!

If I can shred it I'll use it instead of shpagnum for a top dressing.

Get it thin and holey and place easy pieces on top of ugly soil.

Cultivate on it.

The best thing is I could have grabbed a piece of this from work....but instead, with a bag full of river remnants the other day, I found this piece on the side of the road.

Threw it in the bag, Cuz earth is guiding me so.

That and this....20170818_081643.jpg

That top Moss was collected from brick...dirt free, by a downspout..
It lays on thin as hell, spacious and breathable, AND it stays green.

On the flip, these that were potted with the moss grown on the slab expansion joint material hold so much water, it's too much to have used some finer DE.

I could have used aquarium gravel as a substrate and not had to put these in another pot.

If I tip it, I could fill the entire pot with what pours out!

So use it around and on your Shohin without need for sand burial.
But use really loose soil.

Moss Boogie.
