Farming Biome?
So on the wiki it says lots of data like the nutrients prefered, the temp prefered, ect...

but for someone who is not speicalized, or wants to micro manage this on a high level.
I have a question.

What biome do i want to plant each crop in?
Is there a list that says this?
Would be nice if prefered biome would also be a heading in the wiki.

But how I have been doing it so far is by just saying, the biome I find the wild versions in is where the best spot to make that seeds farm type is. but I still keep getting tons of dead plants, even when i only have one planted every 2nd square on a small 1 deed garden size.

Any tips on how to know where to setup your garden based on biomes?

You can open the mini map and in the options there you can see what areas are considered fertile for that plant although they will grow outside that area with a higher risk of dying also the soil sampler can be a great help to working out where is the ideal spot for the plant
The moisture, temperature, and nutrients of a given block of land are determined by the 5x5 plot that it resides in. These 5x5 plots are identical to the plots used for determining property claims. Because of this, a Land Claim Stake is a great tool to visualize farming plots, in addition to their importance in protecting your farm.

If the plant's needs are met, the growth time and survival rate of your crops is greatly increased.
Using the soil sampler to check nutrient levels on a plot of land does not show the levels for that single block. It will display the levels for a 5x5 plot of blocks, in which each block contributes 4% of it's actual value to the displayed values for the plot.

This also means that every plant inside this 5x5 plot counts into the checked farming area (including Grass, bushes and trees) for the simulation, which can lead to overcrowding even though the player planted only a single seed. Plants have a lower tolerance for crowding the less optimal the soil conditions; this can result in crowded crops from fewer plants than on a 100% optimal plot of land. Overcrowding will hurt survivability; if you plant 5 crops and they are "very over-crowded", 2 or 3 may die before maturing to harvest.

most of this information comes straight from this website and you can check it for more details
