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. | 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.

Due to harvesting problem because of the water a most efficient way to plant kelp is in 2.5 high blocks of water so you can harvest it without your blockhead diving. | ||
[[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. | [[Harvesting]] kelp by hand produces one unit per block, but using a [[machete]] or [[spade]] will usually produce three.
