Growing moss?

Question

Okay. So, after 15 years of trying, we've realized that grass doesn't grow in our yard. We've decided to try moss as a ground cover but we dont know where to buy it, how to buy it, how to plant it, etc. Help please!

Visit the above link to watch a television program about growing moss, and to see a list of sources for obtaining various types of moss.

My best advice with moss is to kee it hydrated in the growing season, and to help it spread by mixing it in a blender with buttermilk and water, and spraying the areas (in shade) you wish to cultivate outdoors with the mixture. In a few days you will see the emergent moss.

Go to your local garden center and ask.  

They should have information about what can survive in your area.  If you can give them an idea of the exposure, soil type and other plants that do well in your garden that will also be helpful information for them to help you pick something that will work.
