→Sprinklers: Added Sprinklers for completion's sake. The image should be cropped, greyscaled, and grid-lined like the others, but I am unsure how to do that [properly].

To use [[Crafting#Sprinklers|automated sprinklers]] to water crops, some soil tiles must be sacrificed to place the sprinklers. The growing area is too large for any sprinkler to water the center from any edge. In addition, the 12-by-10 shape of the farmable area cannot be covered only with the square shapes of sprinkler watering.

An alternative to sprinklers is [[Deluxe Retaining Soil]]. It can be used on a crop at any stage of growth, and has a 100% chance of staying watered overnight. It therefore eliminates the need for sprinklers entirely, which frees up crop space. It is also cost-efficient as the fertilizer only has to be crafted once.
