Moss-Garden Bath Mat

[Beankeeper]

I usually see moss gardens contained in concrete like this first picture.

Or, I have seen moss pathways like this:

What I'm recently inspired to do is this:

Except, I want to do more than just a bath mat. Any ideas? Would this be a really expensive project? I know I'd have to wait until the babies are old enough not to pick at it. I just think this is the coolest thing!

If you're lucky enough to have an ensuite, you could have the bath mat-or whatever you end up going with-in your ensuite bathroom that the babies can't get at.

I would imagine though that you could coat the shower wall in moss, although whether you'd want to do that or not is another matter. I don't suppose it'd be viable to use moss as a sort of...spongy thing for washing?

Ha ha! I have no idea! I wouldn't mind having moss on the wall. I think it would look really awesome, actually. It would definitely absorb most of the moisture from showering. Maybe even having a moss walkway outside by a hot tub would be cool too. I don't know. I need more ideas!

In my opinion it looks wonderful, I would like to have a bath mat like this too Moss is very soft and pretty. As far as I know, it's easy to grow. I'm pretty sure it won't be an expensive project at all, you can take moss for free from a forest

Ohhhhhh.... I know where there is moss, too. Shhhh! Don't tell anyone! It's on the property of a school I used to go to. lol

Lol, now, when you mentioned it, I remembered I had seen a really pretty variety of moss on the property of one of my schools, too. When I was a kid, I used to spend a lot of time lying on it, haha. I'm wondering if it's still there

We should have a moss-thieving day!!!!

Haha, yes we should! In my opinion being a moss-thief sounds kind of poetical Also, it shouldn't be a difficult thing to do during summer, when all kids have vacations and schools are empty

An entire moss walk way would be amazing actually come to think of it. If you have a pool or anything like that, have a the boundaries done in moss so that it's always absorbing the water from the pool, and it'd mean that you prevent, or at least cut down on the amount of falling and slipping due to the water!

Hmmmm.. Yes, we will strike when they are unaware and most vulnerable! Muwahaha!

I don't have a pool but I was thinking about how awesome that would be to have a pool walkway for that very same reason. However, would chlorine hurt the moss?

As far as I know, pool water will have little to no effect upon plants surrounding said pool, so the moss should be fine. Course, I'm only going off of what a quick Google is telling me, so perhaps someone more experienced could tell us for sure?

AHHH the pictures of the moss are so lovely. Unfortunately, where I live moss does not grow. So I am envious of everyone. I would love to have a moss walkway to walk barefoot on. I can just imagine how glorious it must feel underfoot!

I wouldn't imagine it'd be too hard to pick it up from a local garden centre, or even off the internet if you wanted?
