  • Cleaning Paths & Clearing Moss

    It's that time of year again and all the slab paths need cleaned. I have a pressure washer I use once a year but it's a wet, mucky business. How do other grapes clean their paths.
    Also, the path edging stones are thick with moss. Last year I scraped it all off and sprayed them with something which said it would retard moss for up to 2 years. Useless ! they're just as bad as ever !
    Any good ideas ?

    Like you Alice, its a case of move the pots, pressure wash everything and allow to dry. It is messy I agree but the easiest and most effective, especially after a wet winter. As for moss treatments, I have found them to be very much a gimmick.

        You can get "hoods" now for pressure washers which stop you getting too much spray. Don't know if they will fit all models though. Also, I suspect they will only work really well on flat surfaces such as a patio.

        I have used ***** fluid on mossy steps and it works well. Follow the dilution instructions on the can.

          Thanks Piglet, it's about what I thought myself , so I might as well look out some rags and get on with it.
          Thanks Rustylady and Ellasmum. I've got some ***** fluid. I'll dig it out and remind myself what it says on there.

            Cor I don't do this until end of April! Bit early up here. I can't even see the path at the moment, still covered in snow!

              ***** worked for me, not too much scrubbing. Bit worried about it not being organic, but after I'd slipped down 13 stone steps on my back I was going to try anything
