You can put moss killer on it then as per instructions rake it out when dead in 4 - 6 weeks. But it will most likely come back as you have not changed the growing conditions its thriving in?

I use a motorised scarifier on mine every spring followed by a mosskiller, then scarifiy again after 2-3 weeks. Then plenty fertiliser.

Thats what I do Donna but in this draught It may be too much?

We're lucky in the NE Scotland - no hosepipe bans :) ... no lack of rain either :)

We have rain here now for the first time in weeks but the ground is still very dry.
