Irrigation is not always needed for farming. i have my plot inside on sandy clay loam and it works fine. But: would the harvest maybe be better/faster with water? will check out. --Koltom 14:20, 10 February 2008 (EST)

- Irrigation is only needed to be able to farm on rock. Soil layers don't need irrigation before you can farm on them. --Eagle of Fire 15:04, 10 February 2008 (EST)
The current version says you can "effectively" water an area 7x the size of the reservoir, but that doesn't seem to take into account the water that remains in the reservoir once the floodgate's opened which can lead to spots getting missed and people who're anal about this sort of stuff getting annoyed - maybe a 6x/5x figure should be used instead so we can get a depth average of 1.4-ish? --Sorenson 11 March 2008 (EST)
