The dandiest tool for getting rid of real fine moss around plants is a hair pick. If you have a fresh water aquarium, don't toss out the old water when you clean the tank. This smells bad. Don't use too generously if your house is closed up for the winter. Sure is convenient.
Plants benefit from the warm water, too.
Build a compost pile in a sunny location. Use heavy duty fencing or wire mesh, so it breathes yet, keeps the critters out. On garbage days in the fall, drive through your neighborhood to pick up large plastic bags of leaves that can be layered into the pile. In Glennallen where -60 F degree temperatures are common December through February, try mulching with tundra moss. I have discovered a new method for making winter compost.
