Once you’re using Iridium Sprinklers, you can expand this plot to a 5×5 by planting other, non-trellis crops in the outer tiles. Because of this, you may consider utilizing the trusty 3×3 layout (which will allow for access to all crops while also positioning a Sprinkler in the middle). It’s important to keep this limitation in mind if you plan to farm these crops, as you’ll need to be able to actually reach each crop in order to harvest them. This makes sense, as the trellis is an actual solid, impassable object. Unlike soil-planted crops, which are perfectly content to be trampled on a daily basis, crops that grow on trellis will stop you in your path. Each Rod can only hold a single strike at a time, at which point it will begin a 24 hour process of creating a Battery Pack, which are used to create (among other things) Iridium Sprinklers! Trellis crops will stop you in your path Lightning Rods can be placed anywhere on your farm to absorb lightning, so they will not need to be worked into your plot layout. You won’t be able to acquire Lighting Rods until much later in the game, once you reach Foraging Level 6, so don’t worry too much about this when you’re just getting started out. Your crops are also vulnerable to lightning strikes. Lightning strikes are more common than you’d think If you plan to use Sprinklers (and you should), you may wish to set up your plots to take advantage of their output early on so you don’t have to completely redesign later (more on that below). Keep in mind that you’ll be unable to pass through crops grown on a trellis, such as hops or grapes, so if you’re dealing with those, you’ll want to leave space as needed to pass by. You’re free to make plots as large and wide as you want. Shake off those old Harvest Moon habits-you don’t need to plant in 3×3 arrangements! You can safely walk through your crops without causing any damage, so you don’t have to put paths between your plots, either. When it comes to setting up your plots, you can actually choose any layout you’d like. ![]() Much later, at Farming Level 9, you can obtain the Seed Maker through questing or crafting, with which you can turn most crops into seeds. You’re given some seeds early on and can purchase additional seeds from Pierre’s General Store, JojaMart, and (occasionally) the Traveling Cart, a vendor that is available in Cindersap Forest on Fridays and Sundays. Of course all of this long-term development will require money, so you want to start farming as soon as possible.
