I have moss trouble on a bed with carpet spreaders – I just cannot keep the moss down. The spreaders are - Cotoneaster Queen Carpet. Potentilla, Genista Lemon spreader, Lonicera pileata I notice that you advise for lawns - ''To control moss, you need to apply sulphate of iron or lawn sand, between October and April and also apply lawn fertiliser in March and June.'' I constantly find myself weeding the moss from between the branches - it is smothering the spreaders . Can I apply the same medicine to my carpet cover bed ? Thanks and appreciate the help.

I cannot seem to grow Rhododendron. I set the Rhodo's in Brown Gold. Dug a deep hole and filled it with brown Gold. However even a large Rhode is now starting to turn black - this will spread and kill the entire plant. A smaller Rhode is already ravished and died as per pictures. Thanks Gerry. If you have any solutions. I live on the side of south facing hill. Open to elements. I thought Rhodo's were hardy.
