7DTD Farming Tutorial - Alpha 13

Tips, Tricks

1. do u need water around the crops
2. I never use the hoe when farming anymore. I find the tilling mechanic to be too wonky. I just put down the fertile dirt and be quick enough to plant the seeds before grass starts growing.
3. I had no idea I could plant coffee...
   
   Much obliged for the input!
4. Thank you very much for the tutorial I just bought the game and am having a hard time, so reading every tutorial I can find whether I am up to using it yet or not.
   
   
   A few questions on this though if you don't mind...
   
   1) If you try to plant something that needs fertile soil, on non fertile soil, do you get a message saying it is not planted right? Or will it take a day or so before you figure it out, as nothing will grow.
   
   2) How long do things take to grow? Is it different growing times or is it the same time for everything?
   
   I am sure I have more questions, but just for now these are the only basic ones I can think off.
   
   Thank you in advance.
