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.
Kelp can be farmed by [[Farming|planting]] it in almost any type of [[Blocks|block]] under one or more blocks of water you can even plant kelp with 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. There is a maximum height a kelp can grow i do not know if compost will affect this or not but will update the information if i am done researching.


[[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 at a loss of no more than two kelp per plant.
