Good watering is the basis for a healthy lawn. Watering in the early morning or late evening hours is optimal to maximize the efficiency of water use. This also reduces the evaporation of water on the surface before it can reach the roots. It also minimizes the risk of lawn diseases.
The right amount of water depends heavily on the soil type. Sandy soils require more frequent watering with less water as they dry out quickly. Clay soils retain moisture better but require more water to be watered thoroughly. A rain gauge can be a valuable aid in determining the actual amount of water needed for the lawn.
The importance of appropriate winter watering should not be forgotten. Even in colder months, the lawn needs sufficient moisture, especially in dry winters with little snow. This ensures the vitality of the lawn, creates a healthy basis for the coming season and prepares it for growth in spring.
