Prepare a small area
Choose a flat spot near the base and leave passages to easily observe the plants. You will need a hoe, seeds and a piece of land with water nearby. The hoe turns suitable soil into a bed; You don't need expensive tools for your first farm. Mark out several rows instead of a huge field. A small area is easier to check and restore if you make a mistake with the location.
Plant the seeds and watch them grow
Use a hoe on the ground and plant wheat seeds in the prepared beds. Check the area's moisture and lighting. Give the plants time to grow before judging the results. Do not change the location of the water, the lighting and the type of planting at the same time: with this approach it is difficult to understand what helped. For comparison, leave several beds in the same conditions and observe them in turn.
Harvest ripe wheat
Wait until the plant is ripe and harvest. Then plant the seeds again in the vacant space. Divide the storage into stock for planting and finished harvest: this makes it easier not to waste all the material on other tasks. Wheat can be used for cooking and working with some animals. The first beneficial outcome of the farm is a sustainable repeat cycle, rather than just one successful harvest.
When to expand and automate
Expand the area after several successful plantings. First, make sure there is enough space for passage, storage, and reseeding. If you want an automatic farm, check the edition and version of the selected scheme: the mechanisms from the video may depend on these conditions. Write down what exactly is being automated - harvesting, transport or planting. A manual farm remains a useful test case for testing plant behavior.
