Anyone know a good way to get rid of "Nostoc commune"? (other than super strong bleach)
It's that slimey algae stuff that seems to be spreading all over our pathways and yard  -  see here for a picture: http://www.irishlichens.ie/pages-algae/a-05.html


Would a coating of hydrated lime do it?

  that's not nice. Hope somebody comes along to give you help soon

Oh  .... me too please ...its driving me mad.  When it dries up for a few days I think its gone, then with the first bit of rain it re-constitues itself.  It got to about 3" deep in places when it was really wet,    and I have had several falls because of it     plus it looks disgusting

Thanks SFS, I have my fingers crossed we can rid our place of this.


Apparently it's very nutritious ... but not very harvest-able when its spread all over the drive gravel!  Doh.

I had this stuff growing all over a flat roof. I tried all sorts and in the end the only way I got rid was to manually scrape it up and throw away. I had bucket loads of it and a sore back to boot! Hasn't come back for a year. It's wierd because none of my neighbours had it on their roofs. Godness knows how it got there.

This appears to be back with a vengance!

Currently having customers calling asking what product is best for a "sea weed" type algae.
