Yeah, I’ve noticed the same thing with the lighter bundles—way easier on the back, but I’ve had a couple installs where the edges started curling afte...
I’ve actually seen moss come back even quicker after a rough scrape—almost like it gets “pruned” and grows back thicker. Especially in the damp PNW, i...
