Moss build-up is greatest at the edges of the shingles ... in some places it's about the diameter of a pencil or Sharpie pen but in bright sun a green sheen is seen just about everywhere. No good comes from a mossy roof.
I usually spray the roof twice annually but because I shredded my Achilles tendon, had surgery then two PRP treatments followed by months of recovery, I haven't been on the roof for awhile.
Today the moss dies.

What's the harm in moss on your roof? It's a like a "Green Roof" and they're all the rage these days. Not too mention that it looks cool. Very "Hobbit-chic."
Johnson - it's a scientific fact, moss and all it's low level allies, are sneaks. They slowly creep in, then set up their slippery households, using media lobbyists to soothe the general public into believing "green is good".
Once established on the roof, they break out K-Bar knives, set out IEDs and then (its too horrible) they actually EAT roof shingles.
Well, if you let them get a toe hold, soon the roof is green and a person cannot walk on the roof without sliding off. Pros use crampons but those make tiny holes and water leaks.
The only defense is to spray the roof with killer liquids before the enemy digs in.
Chalk that up as one problem we don't have in this place. Yippee. Good luck.
Well, I've learned something.
Bill's nuts.
Why Johnson, thank you, that's the nicest compliment I've gotten today.
