Lawn in the garden: that's how much water it needs
Some hobby gardeners think that regular watering, in small amounts, is sufficient. But this is not necessarily the case, especially in summer, as the small amounts of water evaporate in a short time. Therefore, the lawn hardly has a chance to absorb the liquid at all. The roots of the lawn also dry out faster. Therefore it makes sense to give a larger amount.
Nevertheless:
Depending on the type of soil
, different amounts are required.
A loamy soil requires around 15 to 20 liters per square meter, according to the

.
A sandy soil, on the other hand, gets by with less.
Here there are around 10 to 15 liters of water per square meter.
In order to give the lawn the ideal amount of water, it is always advisable to keep an eye on the weather report and be able to plan when it has to be watered manually and when the rainwater is sufficient.
