How To Make Your Own Moss Landscape Rock and Garden Statues  by: Steve Boulden Moss can make some garden elements and even entire gardens look and feel aged and established. The trouble with garden moss is that sometimes it may not even grow on its own. And if it does, it could take a very long time. Here's a way you can accelerate and help establish a beautiful green carpet over your garden rocks and concrete features. This method doesn't work well on resin statues and artificial landscape rocks. First stir a fist size clump of porcelain clay into 3 cups of water to form a thin paste. You can usually get porcelain clay from local hobby shops. Then combine the clay mixture with one cup of undiluted fish emulsion and one cup of fresh, shredded moss. Fish emulsion is a plant fertilizer made from whole fish. You can usually get it at nurseries and garden centers. Mix together and paint it on your rocks and concrete objects with a paint brush. Remember that moss grows naturally in patches, likes the North side of objects, and takes readily to cracks and crevices. Use this formula in shady gardens and in moist locations and you can most probably have moss on your garden statues and landscape rocks in a few weeks. About The Author Written by Steve Boulden.
