'Grass' between tracks?

What is the "cement" part? like the fine dusty part from a bag of portland cement that is easily gotten here in the states? Sans the big pieces of gravel thats mixed into it? MIke

Oh dear now I am in unknown territory Cement over the Pond is different? I wonder if you are thinking of a bag that has Sand and Cement that are mixed to make Mortar? Portland Cement (just that) over here is all very fine almost like Talcum Powder as dust like you say. I wonder if you have an older bag where some dampness has got in to make part of the cement harden? Whatever Dusty Portland would be the 1 part of the suggested Mix.

Sharp sand, also known as builders' sand,

The problems with terminology David. I lay bricks with building sand and use sharp sand for paving slabs or concreting.Not the same thing.
Sharp sand may go by the name of course sand or grit sand.

You can grow moss on timber too.

A small part of my railway has some plant life between the rails, I've no idea what it is but it was supplied a few years ago by Netty

I think someone has used Rowlands Mix on my lawn!

I have 'grass', not a lawn..


Mind you, looking at it at the moment.. 'rough pasture' comes to mind!

I find moss grows best in the lawn

Will do if Lawn is not well drained. Solution is to Rake it, spike it put drainage sand on when spiked. Scarify and then cut every day during the growing season. Oh did I forget feed and weedkiller plus possibly something else? Who on earth can be bothered with all that taramadiddle?
