<VV> Moss Killing-no Corvair

[John Hower]

Chuck,

Check this fact sheet: http://pubs.cas.psu.edu/FreePubs/pdfs/uc094.pdf It 
details many of the reasons you have moss instead of grass, and although 
the wet winter doesn't help, there are other factors contributing.

Mark: few grasses will grow in heavy shade, let alone fill in to make a 
nice lawn. The same fact sheet covers some things for you to look at. Best 
bet is to test the soil -- your friendly local cooperative extension 
service will sell you a test kit for about $6.00 -- follow its 
recommendations and then look for a grass suitable to the type of shade.

... which I don't try to remove ...
