When I went to the balcony and checked my moss graffiti this morning, I found no moss, but only mold, lots of mold! And besides the mold, the container of moss slurry has started to smell too.
Come to the end of it, the yogurt-and-beer moss slurry has already been sitting out on the balcony for more than two hot summer days. After some research, it seems that it is expected to have mold on the surface of the mixture. And it takes around 6 weeks to see signs of moss. 6 weeks! This surely is a test of patience.
While I have found no mold on the moss slurry that are on the wooden boards, all three of them were all dried up when I checked them on the balcony this morning. So, to keep them moist, I have sprayed them with lots of water.
Sandy, this is interesting. Keep up the good work. Looking foward to see more results. Autumnbelle.
Amazing! You have to be patient to carry this out. It does sound interesting…my son would probably like to try something like this! I hope you will eventually get some moss!!
Jan and Auutmnbelle, thank you for your encourage words. Yes, I will be patient. And hopefully, I will get some moss in another few weeks 🙂
So what did you do about the mold? I am having the same problem.
Eager to learn if the mold turns into moss at some point or if my experiential has already failed?
Anybody share experiences with mood and moss?
