Anyone every try this method??
Moss: To grow real moss on any pot, rock, or rock garden, cement container or directly on the soil in your garden on a shady place in your yard. You'll need to take plain yogurt or buttermilk and place one of these in a blender with the green type of moss they sell at craft stores (do NOT use Spanish moss). You can add a bit of water to make them blend easier. After blending the solution, pour this where you want the moss to grow. In a shady area and spray it with a mister to keep it moist every day. After about a month or so, if the conditions are right (not too hot and not too dry) you'll have real moss growing permanently on your pots!
I love the look...

Melody, I just went to your blog. Your pictures are beautiful! Wow! Do you live near the water? I went to Mich. with my hubby years ago in the big truck and just loved it there. I want to go spend a summer in a cottage at a lake in the UP. I was very impressed about how clean everything was there, too. Not a piece of trash on the raodsides. Such a beautiful place. How lucky you are to live there.

Miss Wilma...
I would thinks so Miss Wilma...I also found this idea.
Yogurt, Moss And Glue (this is what you want): You slather on the plain yogurt, then glue on the moss with hot glue. Not as good as above, but it's instant, and no waiting for the moss to "grow". The yogurt will "age" in several weeks and look old. If you mix this method with the one above, you'll get a very cool look!
