Time to Grow a Sabzeh - Moss Graffiti!!

This simple yet effective concoction is an old favourite of gardeners trying to encourage moss growth and provides an excellent alternative to spray paint.

(serves to create several small pieces or 1 large piece of graffiti)

1 carton of live yoghurt and some water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Several clumps garden moss

You will also need a plastic container (with lid), a blender and a paintbrush

To begin the recipe, first of all gather together several clumps of moss (moss can usually be found in moist, shady places) and crumble them into a blender. Then add the yoghurt and sugar and blend with water as required just long enough to create a smooth, creamy consistency. Now pour the mixture into a plastic container.

Find a suitable damp and shady wall on to which you can apply your moss milkshake. Paint your chosen design onto the wall (either free-hand or using a stencil). If possible try to return to the area over the following weeks to ensure that the mixture is kept moist. Soon the bits of blended moss should begin to recuperate into a whole rooted plant – maintaining your chosen design before eventually colonising the whole area.
