Moss is not always considered a weed, but don't tell that to those who have tried to deal with it. Here's a 'green' recipe for getting rid of moss in a lawn. It's safer than chemical pesticides and only a fraction of the cost. It sounds odd but it works and is used by turf professionals everywhere.
- 4 ounces Ultra Dawn liquid dish soap
- 1 gallon water
Gently mix contents in a 1-2 gallon hand sprayer. Holding the spray nozzle a couple of inches from the target, drench moss with solution. Moss will turn orange/brown in 24 hrs and eventually dry up while the surrounding grass takes over.
Here's another interesting home-made solution.

Will this dawn/ water mix for controlling/killing moss hurt my garden plants?
I’ve only used it on turf and it did not harm it. If you are unsure about a plant, maybe test the mixture in an inconspicuous are and check for damage.
