Kelp can be farmed by [[Farming|planting]] it in almost any type of [[Blocks|block]] under at least one block of water. It is possible to plant kelp in only half a block of water. Water depth is important because kelp will not grow above the highest (at least partially filled) block of water above it. Care must be taken to avoid drowning while harvesting kelp in deep water.

[[Harvesting]] kelp by hand produces one unit per block, but using a [[machete]] or [[spade]] will usually produce three. Kelp above a harvested segment will despawn and may not produce any kelp, so for maximum yield kelp should be harvested from the top down. Leaving the bottom-most block of kelp in place when harvesting avoids the need for replanting, thus farming kelp is more effective when the water is more than one block deep.
