Suitable Farming Methods
Soil Farming
Grow in-ground on standard island plots. Lowest infrastructure barrier — the default route for this crop until bed compatibility is confirmed elsewhere.
Hydroponics
Grow in soilless water beds powered by renewable energy (sun, wind, and rain — Steam-confirmed). Scale only when your grid has stable output plus buffer.
Trellis
Grow vertically on support structures to save flat land. Official on Steam; per-crop trellis compatibility for this entry should be verified in your build.
