Editing Farming (section)

== Kitchen Garden ==
The kitchen garden is located directly south of the [[workyard]] and requires permission before usage.

=== Unlocking ===
{{*}} First, read the sign in the north at the blueprint table, telling you to apply to [[Horadric]] for it.

{{*}} Second, speak to [[Horadric]] at the [[The Dead Horse|tavern]] and ask about the garden. This will unlock the [[Farming and Nature (Tech Tree)|farming technologies]]. He'll give you a {{item|Garden certificate}} which can be used at the blueprint table in the kitchen garden.

{{*}} Third, use the [[garden certificate]] to claim the property. Until you [[Farming and Nature (Tech Tree)|learn more]] about farming, you can only build an [[empty garden bed]].

{{*}} Fourth, talk to the [[merchant]] at {{day|Gluttony}} about the garden and make a deal with him. You'll be able to work the garden without this, but you won't be able to advance his questline.

You may swap the third and fourth step.

===Basic Crops===
Basic crops lack quality levels. This appears as a star {{Quality|copper}}, {{Quality|silver}}, or {{Quality|gold}} in the upper right corner. Crops and seeds cannot be improved, so they don't benefit from quality bonus of a corresponding [[fertilizer]]s. That being said, they do benefit from quantity bonus of quality fertilizers. A good tactic is to grow them on at least Peat fertilizer, that way you reduce seed loss and, in turn, reduce the need to buy new seeds. However, due to random nature of farming, this isn't guaranteed. In order to become fully self-sufficient, some of the seeds must be grown with silver quality [[fertilizer]]. The [[farmer]] only sells basic crops at Tier I.

===Improvable Crops===
These crops each have a quality level, which has the potential of being improved with [[fertilizer]]. Only improvable crops can be packed into [[crates]] at the [[crate factory]] to be sold through the [[trade office]].

===Compost===
The [[compost heap]] turns eight units of crop waste into six units of [[peat]] and two units of [[maggot]]s. Peat serves as a 'starter' [[fertilizer]] with a copper quality and copper boost, as well as being a necessary ingredient for crafting more advanced fertilizers.

Peat is also necessary for certain craftable landscapes, such as berry bushes and apple trees in the [[orchard]], and flower beds in the [[graveyard]]. Maggots are not related to farming otherwise, and can instead be utilized through [[fishing]] and [[alchemy]].

===Zombie Farm===
If you don't want to work your farm on your own, get some {{item|zombie}}s and have them do all the hard work for you in a [[zombie farm]].

There can be up to six zombie farm plots in the kitchen garden, but placement of the remaining user-farmed plots can create a 'trap' from which the player cannot get out.  Never place 'stick plots' in front of the zombie farm entrance, as they prevent the player from moving through the plot. They create an unbreakable trap, since the player cannot get to the blueprint stand to remove either the plots or the farm!
