Several days ago I painted a sculpted planter with a thick coating of the moss buttermilk recipe and placed it in shade. Today the planter is still green but covered with white spores. Is this part of the process? Should this be happening?

I am about to try this. Anyone who was trying it above have any luck? I’m in Montreal and if I can get going in the spring it should be okay – I am worried about the heat of summer though.

I have only just got into this in the last couple of days but I have added EM (Effective Microorganisms) in the form of Bokashi Compost Zing (a product available here in New Zealand). It is used in the compost to reduce smell and to ‘pickle’ the organic matter. I added it mostly because I thought the microorganisms would help the moss to flourish, but it should also help with smell and deter mold growth. It is only day two of the experiment so I don’t know how effective it will be but i will keep you posted

Hey, i have following problem.
i mixed the components but my moos graffiti begins to smell and then it starts to mold.

Does it depends how thick you paint it. The thickness of my graffiti was about 5mm.

What did i wrong, to much buttermilk ?
Any experience with that ?
