Nope. Think of it as plant food :) It must be pretty moist there!

I get it in some of my containers sometimes, but it never hurts anything. Babies sprout and grow nice and healthy through it.

Green moss burn or till?
Q

Why burn? They are tiny living plants that need lots of air and moisture to stay alive. Tilling will probably kill them easily. My question is, how do you want to burn them? Buring any thing on garden soil is not a good thing to do as it will destroy a lot of benefitial micro organisms.

More than likely it's just an algae (versus a true moss). Good nurseries carry at least one brand of algae killer for spraying on such areas. No worries for the nearby plants. Do NOT use bleach. Joe

moss questions are sphagnum or green moss alive?
Q

Sphagnum moss does not have to mix with algae. Perhaps you are thinking of lichen. Sphagnum SHEET moss can sometimes come to life after moistened. The other processed stuff cannot.

Q

For rooting cutting you generally will use a fine soil blend incorporating milled sphagnum moss into the mix. Green moss is not really suitable for rooting cuttings though live green moss may serve as a seeding bed for some plants.

A variety of mosses was all I had in some cells. I'm planting them out (probably in the lawn) this spring. :)
