<< Hello harry,
Thank you for all the tips on growing moss... but now I am thoroughly
confused. (usually I am simply befuddled or mildly confused)
This is limestone territory. All about are outcroppings of limestone. My
sculpture was chosen for it was carved from Bedford limestone. Moss grows
all over
the place in shade here. Pollution is not so strong in this area (yet) that
all is
acid pickled from fall out or acid rain. What am I missing here? Duh?
Also thanks for letting me know about the freeform carvings you do. Will
definitely check them out later today.
Help me out here, Harry.

no confusion, just the pickling process at work. even "regular" rain is
mildly acidic, and the first areas to be leached of lime would be the exposed
surfaces. there are also (still waiting for a sample) of lime "loving "
mosses from the niagra escarpment. im sure in your area, mosses are adapted
to conditions also.
btw, watch you dont "pickle" your plants, especially if you decide to use
muriatic
be good,
