    People who wants gardening plots simply have no idea how lackluster the gardening feature is. It begins from the crossbreeding till the most annoying menue you will ever see in FF14. They should ask a friend to be a tenant or in the FC to take care for the patches for 1 month. Believe me most players will neglect it after one week.
    I had a small house next to someone with a medium FC house and they let me use their patches and we split the money. I had to join their FC to use their patches and it turned out they only had two members. I agree we didn't make HUGE money from it, but it was steady. The biggest thing that I saw hurt the pricing was the idiots who would put up 10 onions at a time and way undercut everyone. Anyway, one day I log on to find the FC house is gone along with the other two members. No idea what happened. I tried to keep it going with my single patch but that really was too slow. I ended up moving to another server and have been trying for a couple of months to get a medium house. The FC I'm in now has a small house and they're letting me use their patch to get a surplus of the seeds I'll need if by some miracle I get a house of my own.

    So you have access to a plot for seeds, and can grow the seeds to plants in your apartment? Yes?

    Also in a FC room. That's 4 onions that can be growing while trying to get more seeds.

    Yes, I have access to a single garden patch, which I'm grateful for, but it is far from optimal. The seeds I'm trying to get a surplus of are the tantaplant seeds. I've found that three patches with tantaplants planted in the corners is the most efficient way to maintain a steady supply of onion seeds.

    It is no worse than people who have small houses and do this with a single plot.

    As for "three patches" it sounds like you have quite a sizable access to plots and now want even more!!! Most people don't even get three, and the subset of most with access, do it in small with one.

    For many years in my small home, I would swap my plots, build the tantal plants with the krakka/eggplant loop, then store that and pull out the jute/tantal loop plot when I had enough, always leaving Jute sparkling. When I had run out of Tantal, I'd swap the plots again. Of course, some would prefer to swap that, leaving tantals as the sparkler and doing a jute loop with Jute+Azema Rose/Voiddrake/Lavender in order to get the jute byproduct too. Azema does provide a lot more jute seeds under it's RNG than krakka/eggplant does.

    I have access to a single plot. In the past I had access to three and I put the tanta in the corners and let them sparkle and planted either old world figs or kukuru between them.

    ok!

    All i can really suggest for now - until one day SE improves stuff - is the plot swap method, it really helps speed things up when you can grow a few weeks of tantals, then put out the other loop for the onions until the tantals are all gone.

    If you're leaving the Tantalplants in place, you'd be better off just using 3 instead of 4. Place them in the top corners then one in bottom center (or bottom corners and one in top center). That way each bed will have an adjacent Tantalplant to cross with but you'll have 5 potential seeds to harvest instead of 4.
