Moss is taking over my lawn?

Moss is starting to spread across much of my yard. I have tried putting lime on it and scraping it but that is not working. What will kill it or control so I can get my grass growing again?

    Iron will kill moss while feeding your lawn. The tricky part will be using a sprayable product and pin-pointing the right rate. Start with a light rate and increase the dosage until you see results. Garden departments have sprayable forms as well as granular (Ironite) which might work as well.

    As someone else mentioned, moss is an indication of tight, poor draining soils under low light intensity. You might want to think about aerating your lawn or applying a wetting agent or surfactant (i.e. dish soap) which will actually help your irrigation water infiltrate.

    A fine spray of bleach will kill it. Be careful not to spray your good grass.
