The problem with moss is that it steals nutrients and water away from grass. Based off of the data, the store bought spray was the most effective artificial method of removal but physically detaching the moss from the lawn proved to remove 100% of the moss on day 1. This is because chemicals take time to kill off the plant, while physical actions are timeless and require small amounts of labor. However the validity can be improved by more trials, and different types of methods, as well as consistent measuring. This can be applied to everyday life such as lawn care, after cutting the grass, a store bough spray can be used afterwards and will effectively kill off the moss within a week.
