I have blobs of green slime appearing on a gravel path. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

sounds a bit like when leaves have got really soggy when theyare sat in water, they start to disolve into a green gunge type mixture?!

Hi Harveyb.
I have the same, mine is on the grass, exactly as you describe it. It seems to dry up when it is hot and sunny then puffs up after it has rained. Where it is, is sunny and not shady at all, but have not been able to work out what causes it.
I have not done anything about it. Let's hope someone replies back.

Hi Harveyb. this is algae and forms in wet conditions - same thing that we keep removing from our pond. There are chemical treatments that will remove from hard surfaces. Take a look at http://www.plantsyence.com/html/diard.html?gclid=CJLM0piWkpwCFd4B4wod6SEuew

It actually looks like lily beetles excrements to me.

it sounds more like the slime molds. they are a relative of the fungi. It is an incredible organism if it is. they dont do any harm sodont worry.

Um Michaella... where is the pix?

Moon grower they have disappeared at the moment, but they will be back and when they do I shall take a picture and post it. Thanks!
