Pistil, the water soaks up until the soil has reached it's moisture retaining capacity. Some water may be left over, when it can all be sucked up as well, depending upon the amount of water added. The soil is more damp at the bottom than it is atop, due to the force of gravity! And no, overhead watering is not necessary and I would not recommend it, and plastic cover is also not needed. Just whenever the water is soaked up completely, add more to the height I'd suggested, 15mm. Good Luck:-)
