Growing Moss
Q: I’m looking to grow moss in my backyard. I’m not sure where to start. Are there places locally that sell seeds or pre-grown moss strips? If you have any resources for organic veggie seeds, that would be a big help as well.
A: Just like flowers are started from seeds or cuttings, ferns are started from spores or small pieces. I recommend starting moss from small pieces. You can buy them online (look for fairy gardening) or make some yourself by soaking a piece of live green moss in water and pulling it apart. For organic seeds, I have found Johnny’s Selected Seeds (johnnyseeds.com) and Botanical Interests (botanicalinterests.com) to be helpful and educational about organic gardening.
