I once left a pile of old potting mix (LFS & sponge rock) in a pot saucer, or whatever those water catchers are called, and forgot about it. It was outside in a shady spot for a long time and one day I noticed it was green. It had compacted down to a low mound that was mostly covered with regular ground moss, but with patches of hair-cap moss too. It was beautiful, in a subtle way. After finding it, I left it out there for a couple more years and did nothing for it, other than to water it a couple times when the weather was unusually dry to pull out the weed and tree seedlings that tried to invade it. Unfortunately, I found it all ripped up and dried out last year and I think a squirrel or bird tore it apart.
