Dirt mounds are the Tier 1 crop plot alternative, allowing prospectors to get into farming straight away (this also means plants can be put almost anywhere).
==How they Work==
Seeds can be planted in dirt mounds and can be cared for in the same manner as plot-grown crops. Dirt mounds have an infertile modifier, which reduces crop yield by 25% and speed to maturity by 50%. Despite that, they provide a valuable option for generating food early in the game or for decorating.
When harvesting the planted crop, the dirt mound is removed and will need to be replaced if a resow is needed.
