To get rid of nostoc algae in a yard, start by removing the visible nostoc growth manually. Use a rake or shovel to remove the slimy, gelatinous masses from the grass or soil. This physical removal can significantly reduce the amount of nostoc present. After removing the surface growth, you can treat the area with an algae-targeting herbicide, which can effectively kill any remaining nostoc. If you prefer a non-toxic alternative, a diluted vinegar solution or hydrogen peroxide may help in eliminating the algae. It’s also crucial to address the environmental conditions in your yard that support nostoc growth. Ensure good drainage, reduce excessive moisture, and avoid overwatering. Regular lawn care practices such as aerating the soil and trimming excess grass can also help reduce moisture retention and limit nostoc growth.
