KILL LAWN MOSS SAFELY
Art Knapp Plantland When people need to find a solution for their garden problems, they know the place to go to is Art Knapp Plantland on King George Boulevard. The knowledgeable staff at the family-owned and operated business will help you navigate through tricky problems and provide a variety of solutions. Kerry Vanderzalm Lonnie and Kerry Vanderzalm, two of four brothers who own the Surrey location, are always happy to help customers with questions. Recently, they’ve heard more and more people complain about moss creeping up and stunting the growth of their grass. The Vanderzalms suggest using Garden Plus moss-control to get rid of existing moss. However, although the moss is gone for now, it doesn’t mean it will stay away, Lonnie said. “Acidic soil caused by rain and the winter is why that moss is growing, so if you don’t correct the reason of why it grows, the moss comes back”. By applying lime to the soil to correct the acidity, you can prevent the moss from regrowing, but it needs to be added annually. “One application of lime corrects the damage for that one winter, but if you don’t add lime each year, the moss will thrive into the soil and grass will slow down,” Lonnie said. There are many lime products available at Art Knapp, including natural egg shell lime, which consists of ground up chicken egg shells. Providing customers with the tools and knowledge they need to have a successful garden is the goal at Art Knapp Plantland. Many of the staff have worked at the business for years, creating a very familiar and welcoming atmosphere, Lonnie said. “We’re open year-round, so you won’t come by and find new staff each season,” Kerry said. “You can come by and see the same faces each time. Greenthumbs and novice gardeners alike will feel at home when they come in, so stop by Art Knapps, whether it’s for inspiration or for guidance, you won’t leave empty-handed.
