Man, that moss battle is the worst, I've been there with a stubborn patch that laughed at everything I threw at it. Baking soda is a smart move since it messes with the pH and dries the stuff out without soaking your soil in chemicals. Five days is a solid win, hope it stays gone for you.

Learned this the hard way with pizza boxes a couple years back. Our city site had a big chart saying greasy boxes were fine in the green bin, so I kept flattening them and tossing them in. Then a buddy who works at the yard told me they had been pulling them out and trashing them for months because the grease gums up their machine. Made me feel like a chump for trusting a page that probably hadn't been touched since 2019. Now I just call the hauler every spring and ask what actually goes where, takes five minutes and saves me the guessing. The part that bugs me is how quiet they keep it, like nobody wants to admit the program got worse. Did your city ever send that mailer out or are they still dragging their feet?
