Questions and Answers for Moss Out! 5 lb. Moss Out! Ready-to-Use Lawn Granules Shaker Bag

A:  I see no reason why it would not work on lava rock. It may discolor the rock as the package advises not to use on concrete for that reason. It will not harm plants, but should be beneficial as the moss may be harboring insects that could cause plant damage.

A:  Please contact our customer service department toll-free at 1-800-265-0761 so we may assist you further. Thank you.

A:  Not sure about lava rock but no adverse impact on plants so far.

A:  Hello, Moss Out for Lawns should not be used around vegetables. It is only approved for use on turfgrass. Thank you

A:  It is not advisable to use most weed/moss killing products too near edibles. Moss is generally caused by too little light and airflow, along with too much moisture. It's better to fix these if possible. Thinning overhanging tree branches is a good idea, especially if they have low hanging branches like pines/evergreens. Also waiting for the area to completely dry, at least to a depth of about a inch, between watering can help. Moss also loves acidic soil, so sometimes adding a little wood ash, lime, or other food safe product to bring down the PH can help. Even baking soda can be used in a pinch.

A:  You can use the shaker bag itself, or put it into a broadcaster like you'd use for seeds. I would recommend wearing a mask if doing it that way, as it can pick up more dust from the material that way.

A:  I would not distribute throughout the entire lawn, only in the sections with the moss problem. The package recommends spreading lime across the entire lawn to prevent the moss problem, a solution I am seriously considering.
