I have masses of moss on my lawn? which at the moment I can lift off like a mat. Can this go in the compost bin or will that cause more poroblems than I already have?

Don't put it on the compost heap as this will only spread the problem around the garden. Also, try to aerate the lawn with a fork. I expect it is in a damp shady site? I have a front lawn like this that is full of moss. Good drainage is the only answer, but it depends how much it bothers you! Chickens are great scarifiers, too!!

I have it in my lawns at times I tend to weed/feed in the spring then rake it off when its brown any big patches can be reseeded. If its a very large area you can buy/hire airators.

It's only a lawn!! Make the borders interesting and no-one will notice! At least moss is green!
