hi,
all plant using USM top soil?
No, some are using USM top soil or clay loam mixed with Holland sand. Some are using ADA Amazonia 2.
many your moss kill by hair algae, any idea to avoid this algae?
I don't bother finding a solution. I had wasted too much time and effort on the moss. They have given me to much headache and wasted a lot of money. I just remove moss whenever I see any today. I am an anti-moss now.
