Save backache with moss destroyer which eliminates need for raking

WITH various moss killing products coming off shelves in the next few months, DJ Turfcare’s unique MO Bacter organic lawn fertiliser - which destroys moss without leaving debris – is proving even more popular.

“Because this is a totally organic product which eliminates moss and fertilises lawns without the need for raking debris, MO Bacter is still getting many repeat orders,” says managing director David Jenkins.

The BTME award-winning product from Viano of Belgium has received much praise from both professionals and amateur gardeners alike.

MO Bacter is an organic slow-release granular fertiliser from Viano of Belgium, which eradicates moss, feeds grass and improves the soil. Scarifying after treatment is not necessary.

Moss dies as a result of excess potassium but leaves no black debris. The dead moss is then digested by the bacteria in MO Bacter (npk: 5-5-20). The product does not stain stonework, patios or paths.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has seen remarkable results in which two inches of moss at one cemetery in Oxfordshire was virtually eliminated in six months, with no need for scarifying to remove debris. And headstones were completely unmarked.

MO Bacter’s high potassium content results in moss dying. It does not go black but is digested by bacteria. Lawns are left free of debris. Grassed areas will be fed evenly over a three-month period.

The product is harmless to animals and wildlife and will not damage border plants.

“This product is revolutionising the way moss is treated on grass near stonework,” says David Jenkins, managing director of DJ Turfcare, based in Surrey, sole UK distributors for Viano products.

It is harmless to animals and wildlife and will not damage border plants.
