Planting to get more seeds?

[76561197979566298]

There was an option with my cultivator to plant a carrot seed to get more seeds but when I went back to my farm it was just a carrot. How do I replenish my carrots?

Take one of the Carrots and use the Cultivator's "Seed Carrot" option; this allows you to plant a grown carrot (not a seed) in to the plant that produces seeds.

So, once you toss down a handful of seeds you can effectively have infinite carrots by simply taking 1-3 of your harvest and replanting them to produce seeds.

Thats what I was talking about. I did the seed carrot option but when I came back it was just a carrot that I could pick up. Where are the seeds I need?

Carrot seeds can be found in the wild in Black Forest biomes.

Using a cultivator, those seeds can be planted in cultivated soil to grow Carrots (1 seed -> 1 carrot).

To sustainably farm, you can plant Seed Carrots, which costs 1 Carrot and produces 3 Carrot Seeds.

Initially, you want to turn all the carrots you grow back around to grow more seeds. Once you've reached your desired crop yield, you can sustainably grow crops at a ratio of 3 crop:1 seed crop. You can do this either by growing them in parallel or by crop rotation. (This advice holds true for Carrots, Turnips, and Onions. Flax and Barley should get fully replanted until you reach desired crop yield; after that, all excess production is profit.)

From your comment, it sounds like you may have confused which crop you were trying to plant. Since it sounds like you are new to farming in Valheim, I'd recommend planting both Carrot and Seed Carrot so that you can observe and harvest them side-by-side.

Plant seed, get carrot.
Plant carrot, get 3 seeds.

So to keep a sustainable system: every 3 carrots you get, keep 2, replant 1.

Wait 4 days, rinse and repeat.

A good tip that i received is to walk sideways (press C to toggle) while planting to keep them very close.

Let me tell you about the birds and the trees... and the carrots and the seeds.

2:1 ratio. Keep two carrots, plant one back.
