    There are all sorts of tips 'n' tricks in the horticultural world that don't get mentioned on e.g. RHS courses, you just pick them up as you develop and learn as a professional gardener.

    The natural, has to be natural, yoghurt thing is a good one. There are others but shhh, they'll cost ya 😉

    Ta for the top tips folks - I'll put this on my jobs list for the extended Christmas holidays. Now vinegar or yoghurt...decisions, decisions.

    It's got to be yoghurt so you can report back and tell us if it's all ballcocks.
    Is that the same reason yoghurt works on a fungal infection?

    Maybe I should do a poll :) Mind you, yoghurt might look a bit messy before it gets washed away, so will incur the wrath of Mrs. 666...and she has a 5l container of vinegar tucked away somewhere.

    Do both and then report back with the results. We need pictures of before, immediately after application and again after a week or two.

    Patch with vinegar, patch with yogurt. Pics as of both, before and after, Simple’s.

    Are you a man or a mouse!? A man has a right to bear yogurt and use it as he sees fit.

    Why does Mrs 666 have 5litres of vinegar? That’s just weird.

    She likes to stay as sour as possible so needs a top up every now and then....only kidding, she uses it on sinks and plug holes etc as she has a thing about using nasty chemical type cleaners.

    A bought an expensive bottle of cider vinegar Friday for cooking recipes, must have been at least £3! Mrs uses it all to clean the kettle on Saturday! I could buy a 50p bottle for that. She says “Oh I thought you bought it for the kettle.”

    Why!? I don’t give a f@ck about the kettle

    Hiding your booze from the Mrs is one thing, but its a sad day when you have to hide your vinegar :smile:

    I have a nagging feeling that I'm the guinea pig for other peoples' moss removal projects, but will look to give it a shot on the weekend :) There's a patch just outside the cave that will be a handy test bed.

    moss is lovely, leave moss alone

    if someone slips, that's evolution in action

    Funny you mention that as last week the DHL delivery bloke thought that the moss would give him more grip than wet tarmac going down the steep bit of our drive. He went flat on his arris :)

    Moss makes my slabs look bad, hence they get yoghurted. Well, they used to get jet washed, but now they get a slathering of yoghurt. No slips, unless it's on dog shyyte.

    TBH I'm not that fussed about my green invader as it adds to the rural charm of the place :smile:

    Mandem, this is rural charm. 😉
    You've just got green paving, which yoghurt will fix.

    That's a big lump of moss to the left of the beach. Time to buy some yokel yoghurt? :smile:

    It's an old photo, I yoghurted it last time I was down, it's as smooth as a porn star's biff now.
