No New Posts ISO IN THE MIX
 
(Preview)
from what I read on the RCIA site if you add iso to your mix it will attack moss better than with out it. my question is if I use iso in my mix how long will that mix be good for?  and do I need to add iso to kill the moss on roofs? or is just sh, water and ammonyx lo good enough?

I dare say 80% of my roofs in tallahassee have leaf litter that must be dealt with prior to cleanin. Anyone find a way to b...
