exdeath Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 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?

game_proffy Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meol Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 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.

transcript80 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meol Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 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.

crow Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
