:::::Nice try, though. If I were to plant Hops in the Greenhouse, I'd probably be looking at convenience of access for harvest as a major consideration. That's something you must do every day once they are mature, and the regularity and length of row you can run down will significantly affect the time it takes to harvest.

:::::My first thought would be this. Place six iridium sprinklers in the Greenhouse according to the normal optimal pattern, in rows 3 and 8. Plant Hops in all available tiles in rows 1,3,4,6,8, and 10, and at one end of rows 2, 5, 7, and 9. That gives you 72 Hops plants. Then choose another crop you can walk through and plant the remaining 44 tiles in that. You're still using all 116 tiles for growth, and you're getting a pretty fine yield of Hops. There are sufficient contenders for "optimal" crops that excellent choices remain for the 44 tiles, and overall production will exceed whatever you do with 85, 86, or 90 tiles. Vary this outline according to taste. [[User:Giles|Giles]] ([[User talk:Giles|talk]]) 16:57, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

::::::This is why I don't understand deleting and hiding the images I uploaded. All it did was hinder the discussion. This is the arrangement I had previously uploaded:
[[File:86-trellis-crops.png|180px|center]]
::::::(I had to make some dummy edits to bypass the duplication detection, but I don't see any other way of making the image available again.)
::::::Do you see any inaccessible trellis crops in this one? Obviously, this won't work on any platforms without diagonal access.
::::::I don't know. The more variations and complications I think of, the less I'm sure this would be worth doing. You can use pressure nozzles to reduce the sprinkler occupancy, but frankly, if you're going that route, it's probably cheaper and easier to just use [[Deluxe Retaining Soil]] and avoid the sprinklers entirely. All of those variations would have different optimal trellis arrangements.
