MossOff

A non-synthetic chemical moss and algae removal product for lawns and hard surfaces. The active ingredients are lactic acid and potassium sorbate. After spraying on moss, or algae, the substance must be allowed to dry for 24 hours without being washed off by rainfall. This helps to form a biodegradable micro-coating that acts as a barrier to moisture and nutrient being absorbed by the leaves, which will turn a straw brown colour over 7-10 days, eventually being killed off and allowing scarification to take place after about 2 to 3 weeks to remove the dead vegetation. It is manufactured by the VivaGreen group.

A zeolite or volcanic rock carrier which contains spores of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi, growth promoting bacteria, fungi and organic soil nutrients.

The suggested minimum application rate is 3kg of product per 10,000m2 (or 0.3g per m2). If, for example, a sowing seed of 25 g/m2 is required and 800m2 is to be covered (which is a full 20kg bag of grass seed), then this would require 0.24kg of the Mycorrhizal Seedcoat to be mixed
