I'm up in the Pacific Northwest. Will this product work on our roof moss up here? Can I apply it this time of the year?

Well, it certainly should. Sunshine, above freezing temperatures and no rain after application as per application instructions sure would insure it's effectiveness.It will kill the mold, mildew & moss growth and then rains should wash away the residual. GIVE IT 3-4 months to work. It will slowly "go away".If the moss is heavy it may then require another application to finish the job. Your roof should return to "like new".

No but it will give off some zinc which should prevent moss and algae from forming on the roofing

Definetly! Just plan according to your zone climate as far as timing goes! I live in Pacific Northwest were it's cooler snd everything is thriving!

I used it in the beginning of the summer, and it is now winter. I didn't apply it twice. I will most likely apply it again at the start of next summer. I was not measuring it, but it controlled the overgrowth situation of the woodlands moving into areas I didn't want encroached upon.

Hi Noreen, I originally ordered one jug and sprayed it as instructed to one area of my roof. It does not work immediately but over a few months time. It absolutely DOES work. So, a few months ago i ordered 3 more jugs to do the rest of my roof. All you need is a sprayer, measuring cup, water, and the solution. Put it on when there is no chance of rain, for a day or so, and when it's not windy. I put it on early in the morning before the sun got too warm. You want it to be able to soak in as long as possible and not be dried up by your shingles being hot from the sun. Don't rinse, scrub, or add anything else to it. I hope this helps and clarifies any questions or concerns you may have. Lisa Hi Noreen, I originally ordered one jug and sprayed it as instructed to one area of my roof.

Tried this product on about two dozen blackberry bush cuttings and none of them made it. From what I understand, it should work on trees if you take a green growing tip, but apparently the rooting process is pretty sensitive to a variety of conditions including temperature, humidity, sunlight and soil/medium type. Warm, humid, partial sunlight and a sterile/inert medium is supposed to work. One person I found puts her cuttings under the exhaust vent of her clothes dryer and that works for her. Another fellow had a little more complicated misting system set up from pvc pipe and nozzles that worked for him. What I do know is that dipping a cutting, sticking it in a pot with some potting soil on a shaded back porch and watering daily doesn't work - or at least it didn't work for me. Hope you have better luck.

They worked in my terrarium-I would mist frequently if using in a regular potted plant. And I believe mosses are sensitive to chemicals (I use distilled water) maybe a layer of plain potting soil as a barrier between the miracle gro?

Never, at least not in MN. I start applying it when plants are starting to come up, and spray often in the spring as the plants grow. In the summer months, when the plants are mature, I apply it about every 6 weeks. It works great for me. I do not apply it to trees but wrapped the small ones instead. I gave up on evergreens, like arbor vitae years ago, and got rid of them and planted hosta instead, but that was long before I found this product.

Sorry, my moss began drying up, even though I sprayed it along with the plant, and I finally tossed it and put some shells in the hanger with the plant. I'd suggest either getting in touch with Hinterland or a local florist shop ... good luck!

I use it along my back door on the slab & by the front door. it works in both places. I don't use it in the grass. I use spectracide for ant hills in grass

I bought it with the main purpose of eradicating creeping Chas (my nemesis!). It was height of summer, so I'm not sure it was the best time to apply. All said: no immediate effect, but the next year, most of it was gone from the yard. The untreated adjacent yard is still crawling with it. So maybe it was taken up in the roots and slowly killed it over the winter.

Hi Wei,I live in So. Cal...........also hot, dry summers inland. I applied this product in summer with no problem. Just be sure to use a good spreader and don't over-apply. I had really good results. Greener, healthier lawn - better than all my neighbors! I do recommend.

I laid down a 3" with an adhesive (roof tar) as I could not slide the zinc under the asphalt shingles. On another roof at a home I have in Maine I used a 6" as the roof was steep (45degree pitch) and very large in length to the eave. It seems to be preventing the lichens and moss from reoccurring.

I suppose you could try. I only used it on the molding around the roof. It has good adherence.

I had no luck with the moss I bought for my terrariums. No matter how I cared for it, it did not survive. Sorry I can't be more help!

I would not recommend this moss for standing on. In addition it would take quite a few orders to accomplish your goal. Check with your local nursery

It shouldn't to my knowledge. I live in South Dakota and have had nothing but success with these products. The Company is located in Lewisville, Tx so would assume that the vegetation and climate are somewhat similar. I would call the companies 800 number and they can tell you for sure. They have always been more than willing to answer my questions.
