How often should you water your lawn

[bert]

Can anyone tell me how often you should water your lawn?My lawn has lost all its greeness and is very yellow and dry looking.

In the british climate, established lawns don't need watering, they will green up again when the weather cools down. If you want them to look green all the time then you can water but it takes loads to make any difference and to my mind is a waste of water, If your lawn is newly turfed, or grown from seed this year then you will need to water it daily in the heat to keep it alive. The best time to do this is over night as you will lose less to evaporation and the water pressure tends to be better.

There is a lawn on my home from the pub that gets, ahem, *watered* very often and I see no signs to the detriment.
