How to Revive Scotch Moss

Scotch moss is considered a ground cover, used in landscaping. It is a green moss that sprouts white flowers in the spring. It exists throughout the U.S., thriving in sunnier parts of the country where its blooms are fuller. Scotch moss can grow between the cracks in pavement, as well as in gardens with richer soil.

  Take a large plastic bin and place it over the unhealthy moss. If the area is extensive, use as many bins as are needed to cover the unhealthy moss.
