    Hi

    The moss seems to be coming in my lawn pretty strong this autumn. Im wondering if I should treat it or wait until spring? My concern is it will just spread more over the winter..

    Any advice appreciated..

    Treat it. It will knock it back and stop it getting any worse.

    Yip, autumn and spring are the ideal times to treat it.

    Try lawn sand. It's getting a bit late as it will feed the grass also, but you should be ok.
    Ideally you would scarify, aerate and topdress but that's a lot of work :)

    Jeyes fluid is the best for lawn treatment.

    Yep I'm just looking for some thing to control it over the winter. Then I'll look at aerate and scarify in the spring.
    Thanks
