Raking mosses


How to keep mosses always healthy requires time and patience.
If you are not in a mood for spending up your time in the garden, it will turn to be such an irritating moment of a day. But once I get involved in it, I quite enjoy this chore of cleaning up the garden.

Today it was warm and less windy in the morning, I decided to spend a couple of hours before lunch to clean mosses.
Mosses grow inches and you can't neglet them grow. If they grow tall, it is natural they stand tittled and finally they pile one another by their own weight. Sometimes this brings excessive moisture inside mosses and let them ret. To prevent them from dying, I rake them to have them sit straight to get enough air as well as clean the surface.


It's really fun to see quite an amount of weeds are raked at the same time.
After raking, it's so pleasant to see and feel a moist carpet of green.

How lovely. Moss is always so moist and rich in color! I can see how it can be therapeutic to take care of.

I'd never even think of growing moss! But it does look nice. Bet the local cats would love to roll all over it ;-)

I didn't even know there was a caring regime for mosses. It's so wet these days where I am the mosses definitely need some grooming.
