It's never a bad idea to grow moss during this holiday eh?Can beautify the Earth.Lol.
In certain countries, they use moss as decorations.
There is a substantial market in mosses gathered from the wild. The uses for intact moss are principally in the florist trade and for home decoration. Decaying moss in the genus Sphagnum is also the major component of peat , which is "mined" for use as a fuel, as a horticultural soil additive, and in smoking malt in the production of Scotch whisky.
In Finland, peat mosses have been used to make bread during famines.
In World War II, Sphagnum mosses were used as first-aid dressings on soldiers' wounds, as these mosses are highly absorbent and have mild antibacterial properties. Some early people used it as a diaper due to its high absorbency.
In Mexico, Moss is used as a Christmas decoration.
