Is there anything that can be done to treat the moss?? Removing it by hand at best is a battle of endurance to ever attempt to get it all out.

You have to pull it out by hand. We live on a golf course and regularly there are workers pulling the moss out of the trees by hand. I think if there was anything to kill it they would be using it!
