WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Farm Soil rows where you can inspect and water plants throughout their growth.

Potatoes and tomatoes are crop plants, not unattended seeds-to-food shortcuts. Plan their neighbors and nutrient balance, tend their growth, and reserve seed or produce for another cycle. The exact needs can be checked on the plants as they grow.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Potato and tomato seeds
Garden Hoe
Water and suitable nutrient inputs

Check the season and inspect each crop’s growing requirements before planting.
Prepare reachable rows and plant a small grouping of potatoes and tomatoes.
Check each plant’s family-neighbor conditions and adjust the grouping if needed.
Inspect the soil and plants for moisture or nutrient stress.
Water and add the nutrients indicated by the crop rather than applying inputs blindly.
Tend plants when requested and clear weeds or garden debris.
Harvest mature crops, then save seed or feed surplus produce to a caged bird for crop seeds.

Farming tips

Do not assume that two crops planted together automatically balance each other; follow the displayed needs.
Keep a small seed reserve so one poor harvest does not end the planting cycle.

Repeat, collect and use

Replant from saved or bird-converted seeds while you can supply suitable conditions and tend the rows.

Common mistakes

Planting a large bed before checking its needs: test a smaller grouping first.
Leaving plants unattended: regular inspection catches moisture, nutrient, and tending problems.
Using all produce as food: reserve seed material before cooking.
