[compost_tea] Re: moss



Laura-be interested if anyone can answer that one.

My lawn has a great % of moss, in spite of pH 6.8, lots of sun--the 
usual things that are supposed to discourage it...

Available iron is one recurring theme...but how can I get more 
available iron?  Some of my rhodos also indicate low available iron, 
in spite of red colour in the sandy soil that also indicates plenty of 
iron, just not becoming available.  I've heard that most soils have 
plenty of iron, but availability is often low.

Is this maybe one of the jobs of fungi...maybe mycorrhizae 
even...extraction of iron that's bound up chemically so the plant can 
use it?  Way more questions than answers, as usual...
