Rolled turf or sow yourself??

of course the house that built is another league. But it is worth reading because it is well thought out. I like his way of approaching the project and how he presented it.

Fully agree. But if you, as an inexperienced new homeowner, don’t know that rick has built at the highest high-end level with the greatest attention to detail, then you don’t realize that the tips come with a price tag that says prix sur demand. ;) I also don’t ask Jan Frodeno for the ideal training plan to get a bit fitter.

Whereas my irrigation tips here were not high-end in terms of price ;) Of course, with a larger budget I would also suggest a different solution (valve box, Hunter Hydrawise controller, etc.). I can also give affordable tips even though I built something a bit more elaborate.

What you need depends on what you want. Lawn like with a robot and automatic irrigation or lawn like described – that one needs no irrigation and no robot.

That depends on the soil you have. We also have lawn with many weeds, clover, daisies, etc. But if it should stay green, it needs regular watering in our Märkisch sand. Water extraction bans are also common here, but never complete; in the late evening and early morning hours it is always allowed. And this only refers to groundwater, never to drinking water so far. Despite the new building, we also do not have water meters that could store a time.

You don't need a clock, it runs through the digital water meter and the amount. When you water the garden, you use more water, for example because the sprinkler runs for 1 hour.

How it works in Greifswald and the surrounding area when the 37 cubic meters are used up, no idea. You can hardly cut off the drinking water to the population.

But the water meters are only read once a year. And watering bans are always only temporary. So who knows when watering took place?
And even if there was a general watering ban, who wants to prove to me that I didn't use the water in the house if I don't have a separate outdoor water meter? Maybe I shower 5 times a day?

The snitches around you will take care of it.
