  • Planning automatic garden irrigation: step-by-step instructions for efficient lawn irrigation

    On a sunny day, a sprinkler waters a dry, patchy lawn in front of a blue shed, illustrating why it's important to plan for garden or lawn irrigation, with sunlight and green plants in the background. www.commaik.de

    Well-designed garden irrigation is the key to a lush green lawn and optimally nourished plants. In this article, I show you how I planned my lawn irrigation with the DVS irrigation tool. I explain the most important planning steps, explain how to choose the right sprinklers and show you how to calculate the optimum water volume and pressure. In addition to planning, I also discuss typical mistakes that should be avoided. If you want to design your lawn irrigation efficiently, you will find all the important information here – including a detailed planning video.
