Moss Gardens – Love 'em or Kill'em – and Japanese

Moss is either loved or hated in the garden. People often passionately rake until now. Why not see it as a blessing in your garden? Their forms are very difficult to recognize – you need to book this good and a magnifying glass. I do not remember since when I love moss. I think forever. Soft, delicate and moist. In my garden of moss is welcomed everywhere. I try to push rocks in my well. A few months ago I covered with diluted yogurt 1:1 with water. No great effect yet, just something small green appeared.
You can enjoy the beauty of the foam, especially in winter – when it is lush and soft walking. Grass grows in the shade? Great! I do not have to move. The grass is weaker and weaker in those places, and patches of moss are larger and more … and more and more green. Moss reminds me of my second great fascination and the first garden of Japanese gardens.

I made friends with the owner store selling used / old books. Whenever something about Japan appeared on the platform I received a phone call and I immediately run to the store to see.
