Bonehead said:I let that native (? I assume) moss grow wherever it likes. It is soft, green, and helps choke out weeds. When it gets nasty looking (brown and dry), it is easy to just pluck up by the chunks, or rake through to break it up. I'm also becoming more tolerant of the dratted invasive buttercup (Ranunculus repens), often enjoying their cheery bloom comingled with my 'real' plants. Choose battles wisely.

That sounds like a very low-maintenance approach, my favorite! I was just concerned if moss was an indication of something icky (pardon the scientific jargon) and/or if it would bother the plants. I'll cut back to watering when needed instead of daily though.
