April 12, 200719 yr I'm planting sweetcorn with scarecrows right now, and I heard that as long as I water them once, they will grow no problem. I'm using supercompost too. What I would like to know is if there is any chance they will die if I leave them like that, and will I get a better crop if I water them every time? Offering 91 and 93 herblore assists. PM me in game.
April 12, 200719 yr No use to water them any more than that. The scarecrow works JUST like normal flowers do for other allotment crops. Don't you worry about protection.
April 12, 200719 yr Watering your plants in the middle of the grow cycle only prevents them from getting diseased, but your scarecrow is already doing the job, so you are fine. The only other thing that can improve your harvest is using supercompost (you already are), and using the magical secateurs from Fairy Tale. This signature is intentionally left blank.
April 13, 200719 yr There's still a chance that they die. Using precautions like watering, super compost, a scarecrow and magic secateurs (do they work in preventing didease?) only LOWERS the chance of the allotment getting diseased and dying. If you farm the boring way (=waiting for growth, watering them each cycle) you get 100% yield. The only 100% safe way to get healthy crop is paying a farmer 10 jute fibres. I grow them in my hops patches (the only way of obtaining them) near Seers and in Yanille, because I'm frequently there. If that's too much trouble for you (I can understand that) then you have to live with dead sweetcorn every once in a while, but chances are small. As for the yield: the usage of supercompost increases it, as well as using the magic secateurs. But per batch grown, it can differ, and it has noithing to do with watring them or not Other data was removed when acoount got hacked...
April 14, 200719 yr No the magic secateurs only improve your yield, it doesn't lower the chances of disease. But are you sure that the Scarecrow isn't absolute protection? Flowers and scarecrows have never failed me, but maybe it's just me. This signature is intentionally left blank.

April 14, 200719 yr I'm currently relying on the herb-patch from big arm's adventure: always gives me nice exp, doesn't need attentions, and gets me herbs for my herblore :)
