Default Removing green moss

The siding on my garage is just plywood covered with wood stain. *The
stain was wearing out so I'm restaining it. *The bottom few inches of
the wall in some places behind some bushes, has green moss on it. *I
scraped it off, but I think there is still some in the natural low
crevices in the wood. *I did wire brush it too. *But I think I need to
kill this moss before I restain. *Should I just paint some bleach on
the wall, let it sit awhile and hose it off, or is there a better way?


Thanks


Apparently, moss and algae don't like zinc. *I've seen reports where thin
strips of zinc (flashing or something like it) would leach enough zinc ions
down with the rain or so that no moss or algae would start growing. *It
presumes that there is no moss or algae to start with, then keeps it that
way. *DAGS for details, as I don't know them.

Are you trying to start this acronym? (DoAGoogleSearch)

If it pertains to Google...you would think it would come-up in their

I thought Han's search abilities were lacking, but it doesn't even
come up on Wikipedia. DAGS must just be an a.h.r familiar acronym.
Google may be trying to push their LMGTFY feature-- or prefer we use
the more direct and forceful JFGI.g

Hrmphh- I'd swear Google used to return hits from there. DAGS *is*
there, so I think not. . . but then I Google
DAGS acronymfinder
-- and I get the acronymfinder page for DAG as #1- and no DAGS on the
first page. Weird.
