I'm new to the forum and I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, so apologies if it belongs somewhere else. I recently moved to Washington and the yard has more moss than grass. With the coronavirus things keeping everything shut down, I've decided to try to renovate the yard and did some reading on moss removal. Here's what I've done so far:
1.) Thoroughly raked the yard
2.) Aerated the yard
3.) Put down Scott's Turf Builder with Moss Control
Now, the moss is dead and comes up pretty easy for the most part. Unfortunately, I'm finding that there was even more moss than I expected in the yard. I'm trying to rake up the dead moss because I plan on over-seeding with grass seed, but I'm afraid I'm doing more harm than good as there are now massive bare patches in the yard.
Is it necessary to rake up all the dead moss to get the grass seed to grow?
