\u201cWe have it around the edge and at the bottom of our garden and it\u2019s been neglected since we moved in (a lot of work to do in and out of the garden).<\/p>\n
“There are loads of moss and weeds and a few hefty ant colonies. There\u2019s a path down one side of the garden (north-facing side) then this nice bit at the bottom (which faces west).<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2018d like to clean it up and use it for evening\/afternoon seating but not sure what’s the best way to try and sort it?\u201d<\/p>\n

You would be amazed at the transformation. You can sweep new sand back into the seams afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n Lee Ahrens said: \u201cHonestly sounds strange, but cover it in cheap washing machine powder and brush it around. It kills moss and everything fast, and then the rain will rinse it off.\u201d<\/p>\n Brendan Teach commented: \u201cBiological washing powder works well. Sprinkle it on and either let it rain or spray some water on.\u201d<\/p>\n Susan Waters wrote: \u201cWashing powder and water, leave for a couple of hours and rinse with the hose, brings it up great.\u201d<\/p>\n Niki O\u2019Neil said: \u201cI use Aldi biological washing powder to kill moss and algae.
