Thank you everyone for the responses! I'm going to try then. I did a Google search using moss and came up with some methods, but not the best time to make the attempt. (I was rather partial to the buttermilk, water and moss in a blender and then poured or brushed one the surface of where you want it to grow
. A blender! Must be a tough little plant), I'm not as confident of success as some sites make it sound, though.
@Jmrigsby and thanks for the directions. I have a concrete planter which I wish were covered with it, but I also have some large sandstone rocks that I use and generally are in the shade with drippy containers above them. They aren't huge boulders like those seen in the photos, but they'd probably get more moisture throughout the season since I grow so many plants that need extra H2O.
@Esperanza I love the rain. I did walk in it several times today, but the photo was taken yesterday before the rain event today. It's been a wet October. It's odd about the moss. There are other areas with the sandstone boulders, but the moss only grows on a stretch that essentially overlooks the river facing the north. I don't know why it doesn't grow on the others, but it never has. Lots of lichen type growth on all of them. Some of that's cool too. If I knew how to establish it, the lichen growth might work better for the concrete planter. I think because I'm always traipsing around the property, I don't attempt to utilize a lot of plants I like here at the house. Of those I have tried, my success has only been so-so.
