 ===== Sowing =====
-Sowing is best done with a satchel on your toolbelt.  Add seeds in the satchel and you can press the toolbelt number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) to select the satchel and activate a seed, then right click a tile to sow.  You can use a [[https://freth.us/player/doku.php?id=camodg#sow|bind]] to sow as you hover over tiles, which is faster.
+Sowing can only be done on cultivated land.  Dirt, in other words.  It cannot be rock, paved, gravel or packed dirt.
+Sowing a tile requires one seed.

 ===== Tending =====
-Tending crops gives you skill gain and increases yield of your crops when you go to harvest them.  Tending is done on a per tile basis, unless you use a [[https://freth.us/player/doku.php?id=camodg#tend_and_harvest|bind]] to tend the area around you, speeding up the process.
+A rake is used for tending crops, which removes weed and straightens the plants.
+Tending crops gives you skill gain and increases yield of your crops when you go to harvest them.  Here is a hover bind for tending.
+```bind space "act 151 hover"```
+===== Harvesting =====
+Harvesting of crops can be done on a large cart or wagon.  If you expand your large cart (96 cast) or wagon (37 cast) to hold a food storage bin, you will have plenty of storage for crops as you harvest.
+Here is a hover bind for harvesting.
+```bind space "act 152 hover"```
+While you can set up a bind to harvest an area (like tending), it will quickly become unmanageable as your inventory will fill before you get a chance to offload your crops into a container in your cart.  Here is the bind if you want it.
+```bind space "act 152 area"```

 . Wait for a queen to move into the hive.  It will be animated and have bees flying around it.  This can take awhile.
 . Craft a bee smoker and light it so you don't get stung interacting with the beehive.  Load the active beehive into your cart or wagon and unload it in your crop field.
 . Reap the benefits of a beehive.  Yield will be increased greatly.
+Notes:
 * If a beehive is off deed you need to keep it repaired or it will eventually decay away.
 * An active beehive does not require further interaction after it has a bee colony.
 * Occasionally a beehive will become noisy indicating that it has a queen that can move to a new beehive.  Use this to populate more beehives.  Place an empty beehive with some sugar near the noisy beehive.  Once populated, move it where you want it using the bee smoker.

 Note that you cannot put non-food crop items and seeds in a food storage bin.  For example, wemp and cotton are not food crops and should be stored in a bulk container like the bulk storage bin or bulk container unit (four bulk storage bins in one).
+===== Public Use =====
+Public crop fields can be found around the maps.  These fields are free to use.  Public crop fields are a great way to gain skill in farming as the fields tend to be very large and often left untended.
+It is an unspoken rule that if a crop field is not on a settlement it is considered public use.  It is considered proper etiquette to replant what you harvest whether on public lands or settlement crop fields.
