Last week I cleaned family stones in West Virginia. My grandfather Stone looked exactly like the one shown. It was covered with lichens and growth. They came off easily and then I did the D2 and scrubbed it. It looks just like the one you did. I was so happy. My husband was the one who found it. You couldn’t even read it.
Going to clean an ancestor’s headstone and looking for advice, this stood out because Summers is the man my great grandmother married after her first husband died in WW1 , ( I’m cleaning his gravestone) and my grandmother’s maiden name
To answer my own question "D/2". You let the bottle label show for a second. What is in D/2? Can we make at home since its fifty bucks a bottle on eBay?
Been trying to find an answer for a while and I'm stuck. Please help. How long does it take for moss to appear on a new tombstone? I mean solidly covering a 30 square onch area. NOT PLANTED ON PURPOSE. How much time would it take for it to take root and grow completely by accident?
There are a lot of factors that go into that question, type of climate, trees in the area, how far above ground the marker is…. But generally I have seen stones that are 80+ years old completely covered and the one next to it (only 50 years old) partially covered….
