Moist and cool areas are where you will find moss thriving. The many species of moss have common characteristics such as not having flowers or seeds, needing a damp, sometimes shady, environment to grow as they do not have a root system, and they are usually very green with tiny leaves. Moss grows very well on hard surfaces such as roof tiles and grows optimally at a pH level of 5.0 – 5.5.
To kill the moss you need to take away the shade, moisture or water that it is growing in and turn its environment into a base environment of 7 pH or above, or turn it extremely acidic. For more information on Roof Moss and Roof repairs in Calne call RG Wise Roofing.
