Author Topic: MOSSY ROCK BFVISION Dream Gardener Member # 1437 posted                    I recently saw a few beautiful boulders with the green moss growing on them. Is there a way to cultivate that on my own? bbbbbbbbb BFVISION http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2122269418&mode=guest Posts: 197 | From: NJ, NORTHERN COUNTY | Registered: Aug 2003  |  Logged: 71.1.59.29 webwise Dream Gardener Member # 11790 posted                    There is an old trick used by antique dealers for making statues, bird baths etc. look old. It is called a yogurt bath. You needn't literally bathe the item where you want moss, just paint it thickly with plain yogurt. If you can't get plain (though I have never tried any other) I would imagine fruit yogurt would do it. And - no - this is NOT a joke. It works. bbbbbbbbb I am told that one day my brain will grow and grow. I'm looking forward to being a half wit. Posts: 138 | From: Scarborough.

It's true.

Member # 6783 posted                 Let us know how you do...another one to use is if you have some milk that has gone bad....use an old rag or brush and put that on too....saw that in a magazine up here. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 30858 | From: Ontario | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Logged: 74.120.36.85 webwise Dream Gardener Member # 11790 posted                    Never heard that one penny but it is logical. Just one thing. I don't know if pasteurized yogurt works. I've always used the genuine Greek stuff. bbbbbbbbb I am told that one day my brain will grow and grow.

Member # 6783 posted                 I think that any yogurt would work....i know what happens to mine if they get shoved to the back of the fridge and you forget that they are there bbbbbbbbb Posts: 30858 | From: Ontario | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Logged: 74.120.36.85 webwise Dream Gardener Member # 11790 posted                    bbbbbbbbb I am told that one day my brain will grow and grow.
