Tesco's 69p buy will kill garden moss in just 24 hours & turns your lawn a luscious green during hot weather
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HANDY buy from Tesco is being hailed as a garden game-changer — and it costs just 69p. Fed-up Brits battling ugly moss patches on their lawns can wipe them out in just 24 hours using Tesco's Lemon Washing Up Liquid. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Moss can quickly take over your lawn, especially in areas where the grass is thin or patchy Credit: Getty 3 Experts say this household item kills moss without harming your grass, giving your lawn a greener, healthier look in no time Credit: Tesco The trick is being shared by gardening whizzes who swear by this easy hack — and it's as simple as mixing a few squirts of the lemon-scented liquid with warm water and spraying it directly onto the moss. Experts say this household item kills moss without harming your grass, giving your lawn a greener, healthier look in no time. Moss can quickly take over your lawn, especially in areas where the grass is thin or patchy. Unlike weeds, it spreads through spores, making it a right pain to control — and most weedkillers just don't touch it. But the gardening gurus at The Turf Grass Group say: 'It is not very difficult to get rid of moss in your lawn.' And you don't need any fancy chemicals. Just mix the washing up liquid with tepid water and give the moss a good soaking using a garden sprayer. After 24 hours, it should turn brown or orange — a sure sign it's dead and ready to be raked away. Once the moss has been zapped, go over the area with a metal rake to lift it out. Because moss has shallow roots, it comes up easily — no digging required. My garden was a mud patch - I transformed it to a lush, thick lawn with a Poundland buy & I'm shocked at the difference Be sure to bag it up and bin it, though. Leaving it lying around can spread spores back onto your grass and undo all your hard work. One shopper said: 'I tried this hack after reading about it online and was shocked by how well it worked. "The moss died off fast and the grass looked better in just a few days.' And it's not just moss that this hack helps. With regular care, your lawn can soak up more sunlight, water, and nutrients — which is especially important during heatwaves when grass can quickly turn dry and dull. How to stop yellow patches on your lawn STEVEN Bell, Managing Director of Paving Shopper, shared his insights on the true causes of lawn discoloration and how to maintain a lush, green lawn… 1) Sharpen mower blades 2) Prevent fungal disease with nitrogen fertiliser 3) Mow frequently 4) Aerate lawn with a fork
