Hey Alisa, GREEN GOLD... that's how I feel when I rescue mosses. Glad you like my TH-cam channel. Invite your friends to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE. Thanks, Mossin' Annie
Thanks for visiting my mossin' video channel. Both of my sons are gamers, too. My oldest son is the creative genius behind Qutee, a popular site for gamers to evaluate games. I have a number of German friends who are moss lovers. You have brightened my day, too, with your kind comments. --Mossin' Annie
Cant believe i am just now finding your moss growing tips and harvesting ideas , explained easily !! Thank you and Gods Love and blessing from Arkansas Lowell bowen family. Love Angie
Hey RAH Bruhn... whatever works to get rid of those PINE FOOTBALLS! Glad you got a good laugh. Never know what practical method or found object I might use in my mossin'... --Mossin' Annie
Thanks, Dave. I appreciate your comment on FB, too. I like your new term, "Entercational." Yes, I want my videos to be educational and entertaining as well. I appreciate your encouragement. -- Mossin' Annie
Mossin' Annie, don't forget to always put a link to your website in the description section of your videos! I am just loving your channel so much! Keep the great content coming! Lisa
Hey Craft-O-Matic... Thanks for this heads-up... I thought that my Web site was mentioned on all closing billboards. You are right. I sure want people to visit my Web site: www.mountainmoss.com. I offer Live mosses for sale, my book, and professional services. I appreciate you taking time to give me this feedback. -- Mossin' Annie
Thanks, Musgo. My ferns are impressive in the spring and summer months. It's like they are on steroids. They thrive so well that the ferns overwhelmed my moss garden again. At this point, we've started to have some freezing temps and now ferns are crappy looking. Time to remove the dead fronds. Happy to report ALL mosses are looking mighty fine still! --Mossin' Annie
@@MossinAnnieMountainMoss Yeah here autumn is in full swing and winter is almost the same but a bit colder, we have a temperate climate with dry winters, summer is really humid that's when mosses thrive, now mosses will go dormant, but I will keep mine moist and alive.
@@lyrooo326 Where do you live? I'm curious about the visible indications that your mosses are going "dormant." I'm in the mountains of western North Carolina, US. We do have snow and freezing temperatures in winter months. Yet, even if we get over 12" of snow, it tends to melt within a couple of weeks. However, in the winter, my mosses DO NOT go dormant. They continue to look FANTASTIC with brilliant intense green tones!! Since sporophytes can be present when the snow melts, it's obvious that they have had SEX under their snow blanket... so reproduction continues in the colder months as well. Just wondering why there is a difference in the growth patterns between our different locations. -- Mossin' Annie
I love your presentation style, you give such a dynamic and engaging/entertaining performance. It really does help deliver the concepts effectively! Thanks for another great moss video
Just found your delightful channel! You are an absolute jewel! I have an 18" concrete orb that I would like to grow moss on. Concrete is alkaline but I think moss likes acid. Any suggestions for how to proceed?
Thanks, Lisa. I really want people to experience the joys of moss gardening (and the maintenance required). Even chores should be FUN! -- Mossin' Annie
I am so excited I’ve found your videos! I LOVE moss and I’ve just started my garden a year ago. Can I forage for moss all year or wait until spring? I am super into starting to forage. I live in Eastern pa, zone 7b. Thanks Mossin’ Annie
Hey Mica... So glad that you are inspired by my videos to include mosses in your garden. Mosses are immune to negative effects of cold weather. So... you can gather mosses ALL year long! I do encourage you to find places where mosses are in peril of destruction --- parking lots, roofs, commercial land for sale, etc. If you want to forage, please don't steal from our protected forests and parks. Get permission from private property owners. Enjoy mossin'... -- Mossin' Annie
Hey Mica, I'm not sure that I understand your question but I think the answer is YES. Fragments of moss colonies (FRAGS) can be distributed as a planting method. Water and WALK on FRAGS. --Mossin' Annie
Do you just scrap the moss off? What do you use? Let’s say it’s on a curb in a parking lot, how would you take it off? How long do I have to transplant the moss to it’s new home? I asked for your book for Xmas from my husband. I look forward to it.
@@NatalieGamerz I do hope that you (and your husband) will support my mossy endeavors and my willingness to offer free advice here on TH-cam by purchasing my book directly through my Web site: www.mountainmoss.com. I will personally inscribe it to you and autograph your book. It's disappointing to me when people choose to support the BIG "A" Internet book supplier instead of supporting individual authors like me. The publisher and the BIG BOX distributor (or the local bookstore) get almost all of the $$$. I will get only 94 cents as a royalty (in April 2020). It's your choice whether you appreciate my expertise or want to support the BIG boys. But, I can guarantee that THEY can't answer any of your questions. Most people don't realize what a cruddy deal that I got from the publisher. I wanted you to be aware of this situation so that you can make an informed decision to consciously make your choice. I hope to receive your order today. I will greatly appreciate your vote of confidence and support. As for advice on how to retrieve mosses from urban locations, I gently pull mosses with my bare hands. Sometimes, I use a sturdy BBQ spatula to scrape mosses from flat surfaces. It's okay to wait a few days if you stage them in an appropriate place outdoors where the moss is exposed to humidity and natural rainfall. Of course, you can water/mist the moss to keep them in good shape before planting -- not soggy, just slightly damp. --Mossin' Annie
So happy to have found your videos, I find there is limited real info about moss lawns on the net. I have with a lot of difficulty and time growing a moss lawn in the UK. It's mostly grown in and doing well but I do have weeds and grass coming through and I wondered if there was a way I could treat it other than just just pulling them out? I want to pull them out before winter sets in as I think once the moss is more established it will have less of this problem but thought giving it some sort of treatment before winter could help boost it/kill weeds?? I also have liverworts growing in the moss which I don't like as they grow a lot faster than the moss. Any idea for this too? Thank you !
Hey Roy, Thanks for your kind comment. I'm glad that you like my videos. YES, there are direct sun lovers such as Bryum argenteum, Ceratodon purpureus and Ditrichum affine. Yet, there are other versatile species that can tolerate a fair amount of sun and can live in shade as well -- Atrichum angustatum, Climacium americanum, Entodon seductrix, Hedwigia ciliata, Hypnum curvifolium, Leucobryum glaucum, and Polytrichum commune. Please check out species available through my online Moss Shop which are identified by sun tolerance. Please realize that even sun-tolerant mosses will benefit from supplemental watering. --Mossin' Annie www.mountainmoss.com/collections/all
We moved some Moss to our yard and have a Mr set on them with the timer. Everything was going great for a few months and now the worm castings are on top of them what can I do. I'm losing my Moss because I'm getting more worm castings on top than Moss.
Hey Tiana1 -- YES ma'am. If the moss is already growing a sunny area, then it's a good possibility that it will thrive in between the flagstones. You might still need to provide supplemental watering. Mosses add incredible appeal to hardscapes. --Mossin' Annie
What is the problem with Irish 'moss'? If it looks like a moss and acts like a moss, why not just pretend it is moss and keep it? What kind of problems might arise?
I feel like I’ve struck a gold mine. I’ve found TH-cam’s most underrated channel.

Love your videos, Mossin’ Annie!

Hey Cynthia... mosses require NO fertilizers at all. Providing supplemental watering when needed is the key to success. --Mossin' Annie

@@cynthialeeser7952 You are certainly welcome. Enjoy moss gardening!
So the ammonia in the dog pee doesn't bother the moss?
I found lawn moss in a sunny area of my yard. Can I transplant it between flagstone in also a sunny area by my pond
