The quiet greenness of moss is always fascinating when it comes to creating a garden micro-view. This beautiful moment, however, faces the threat of rapid expansion of plants, first and foremost copper。
When water warms up in the spring and its quality gets fattening, it explodes with amazing vitality. The water seedlings, which had been installed in the containers, would have been so long as they had entered the stream that they would have spread a leaf of one to two metres。
It may not initially cover the moss directly, but this exploratory approach is itself a great threat. Cleaning up copper grass is not like removing a single weed, and the chain of well-developed roots, when uprooted, will be associated with the destruction of fragile moss。
Even if you keep it in the middle of the water, in less than two months, it can grow to more than 20 centimetres, covering up the surrounding plants。
The more hidden and dangerous aggressors are the deadliest. It is more contagious than copper grass, and even if it is just a seedling that accidentally enters with a plant, it will become a scourge that cannot be eradicated in the future。
Even in the absence of soil, it can survive and expand in a damp environment. This plant is sutureded and, once mixed with moss, clean up almost unsolved, and is therefore strongly discouraged from planting or retaining it at the outset。
There is also a need to be wary of the hijab, which is directly covered by the moss, as does the feedback from conservationists. In addition to this, weeds, such as heartland, water peanuts, which are common in the wild, occupy territory at a rate far beyond the reach of the moss。
The mosses are slow to grow, need not be trimmed, and are relatively weak to climb, and they are always at a disadvantage when confronted with these vines or the most scavenger plants. In plant configuration, a more secure option would be to combine aquatic plants with clear skeletons that are easily controlled, such as gills or mushrooms。
While copper-coated green blades and the ability to cleanse water and fix the shore are helpful, the cost of its loss of control is often the total collapse of the surrounding quartz, the underleaf and the moss on the rocks。
Even the big fish that provides the moss with shades will lose its original growth space under this overcover. The solution lies in the physical isolation of containers by limiting them to manageable limits, which must be cleaned up in a timely manner as soon as a branch is found to have crossed the boundary and begins to stretch to the moss。
Environmental regulation is also critical in the daily maintenance of moss. The moss themselves, although they prefer to be wet, can cause very serious damage to passive high temperatures and humidity. Such extreme fluctuations as the heavy rainfall that took place yesterday and the tan today have forced it to carry on。
This is also confirmed by many views on moss control, where wetting, poor drainage and lack of ventilation are at the heart of the growth of mosses, but also cause weeds and harmful algae to swell。
By improving drainage, increasing air circulation and avoiding the prolonged accumulation of soil water, it creates a healthy matrix for moss and inhibits the emergence of many weeds from their source。
Good conservation implies precision control of moisture, and soil surfaces should not remain in a damp state, intermittent drying contributes to healthy moss roots and disrupts the growth rhythm of invasive plants。
The survival wisdom of moss lies in winning slowly, but in the race for survival with fast-growing plants, its slowness often means being covered and disappearing. With environmental changes, many moss species are already under existential stress before they are fully understood。
This is particularly true in the small garden ecology, where there is no turning back in the moss at all in the face of a blow from copper-rich grass or from the sky. Artificial removal, although the most immediate physical means, must be performed with great care, using the raw earth layer of the plant which is first relaxed by shovels or bamboo, and in conjunction with brief water control, causes atrophy and minimizes the ripple damage to the moss layer。
Or, after clean-up, a thin layer of sand or trophic soil covers the exposed moss surface, both to inhibit the light co-operation of the remaining weeds and to help the damaged moss recover as soon as possible。
Protecting the moss is essentially a gardening exercise about boundaries and restraint. Only by controlling the seemingly soft but destructive plants can the serenity and depth of moss be preserved。
