Cover it with balsa mulch and you can cut the watering schedule in half. What's that? You don't have any balsa mulch? Well, here's a great way to make your own balsa mulch. Take a perfectly good plane and dive into a paved runway. Remove the metal scraps and wa-la! you've got mulch!

I made a mistake last night apparently about 1.1 mistakes high. Almost put it straight in, about 75% throttle.

The need for watering is dependent upon your expectations for a new crop. If you are growing wings, you definately need to water daily. If it is only fuselages, then twice weekly should do it. And as already noted -- use coverless balsa mulch.

Besides watering, be sure and use a good herbicide. You don't want to be over-run with helicopters.

Check for worms or your crop may have holes in it. You want nice clean balsa.

I like to put a little balsarite on it from time to time it comes out much better in the fall.

also i've got a lot of foam mulch left over if you need any, i dunno if it's as good as balsa mulch but it's pretty cheap.
