+Kelp can be farmed by [[Farming|planting]] it in almost any type of [[Blocks|block]] under two or more blocks of water. Water depth is important because kelp will not grow above the highest (at least partially filled) block of water above it.
-Harvesting kelp by hand produces one unit, but using a [[machete]] will usually produce three. Blocks above a harvested block will despawn and may not produce any kelp, so for maximum yield kelp should be harvested from the top down.
+[[Harvesting]] kelp by hand produces one unit per block, but using a [[machete]] 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 at a loss of no more than two kelp per plant.
