That green fuzz really does have a mind of its own, doesn’t it? I’m in pretty much the same boat—low slope, tons of shade, and moss just keeps coming ...
If you find those, let me know. I’ve tried nitrile for chemicals and they’re decent, but they rip fast if you’re handling rough stuff. The “swamp” sme...
