Remove moss quickly
When the wet fall weather begins,
moss may soon begin to appear on
roofs, patios, sidewalks and steps,
especially in western Oregon.
“ Moss can shorten the life span
o f a ro o f if not brought under con
tro l,” says Ray M cN eilan , Oregon
State U n ive rs ity Extension home
gardening agent. “ It can also create
slippery surfaces on patios and
w alkw ays, where it grows along
with algae and Ziehens.”
Moss thrives in dam p, shaded
locations. I t ’ s often found on the
north slopes o f roofs, or in places
shaded by overhanging trees. It fre
quently builds up on little used pa
tios and walkways that remain wet
for extended periods.
According to M cN eilan, the first
step in moss con tro l is to scrape
away as much o f it as possible. This
may not be practical on some ro o f
surfaces. Several alternatives are
available to keep the moss from re
turning?

least three kinds.
A nd because it is such a hardy
grain (belonging to the fam ily
Gramineae), it has been a part of the
history o f countries as climatically
varied as C hina. Turkey and Scot
land. Harley also figures prominent

many O ld Testament references is
one in R uth 1:22 which indicates
that the ripening o f barley was a
sign o f spring.
