Question
removing moss from brick walkway
What do I use to kill and clean moss from a brick wakway?
Answer
Mosses are a different type of plant and are not affected by standard herbicides used to kill weeds and grasses, however there are products on the market designed to kill moss and algae, I know Bayer makes one called 2-in-1 Moss and Algae Killer. You should be able to find it at any local garden center.
