How to make your own garden layout in Palia
Gardening in Palia is driven by two factors—crop boosts and fertilizers. Here are some tips and tricks for you to create your own layouts:
- Know what effect a crop has on other crops and use it to build an efficient layout. You can use free Palia garden planner tools like this one to understand the rules better.
- If you’ve just started playing, focus on leveling up your gardening skill. You can purchase all nine soil plots from Badruu to build a complete 9×9 layout after you reach gardening level two.
- When building a layout, put most of your focus on water retention to minimize the attention required. Weed prevention isn’t as beneficial as the other buffs but might be useful for “AFK-friendly” layouts.
- Use the right fertilizers to fill any gap in efficiency.
- If you want to earn a lot of Gold off your garden, craft layouts while keeping harvest boost and quality increase in mind.
- Maximize profit by putting the produce through seed makers or making preserve jars.
