[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 214215, member: 1346"] I really enjoy Jerry Baker books and like his methods of fertilizing, weed control, etc.... using products you have in your home. Here's from page 251 of his book, "Great Green book of Garden Secrets" Lichen and moss. If your tree has a patch of greensih gray substance on the trunk, its not a disease, its a patch of lichen or moss, the same vegetation that grows on rocks. A tree's bark is rough enough for lichen to cling to without needing to secrete an acid to cause crumbling as it does on rocks. So no damage occurs. Moss is quite harmless to the tree. To remove moss, mix up a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 1/2 cup liquid dish soap in 1 gallon of warm water. Apply it lightly several times until the moss dies. [/QUOTE]
