We recently had our roof reshingled. Our neighbor says that we should
add zinc strips to prevent moss from accumulating. Also he says that he
sprinkles something called Moss-Out (a zinc based product) on the
shingles for the same purpose. We live in Western Washington where it
rains a lot. Should we follow his advice? He had 25 year shingles put
on his roof whereas we chose 40 year. Don't know if that makes any
difference.

In my experience, zinc strips work quite well for moss prevention in
western Washington. (I'm in Pacific, used to be on Vashon Island.)

Moss prevention is *much* better than trying to clean the moss off your
roof after it gets established.
