The vegetable field is the only field with **six** stages. The extra one is fertilising, and it is what ties the vegetable plot to the pigs.

## Three sizes

| | Harvests per cycle | Working range |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Large Vegetable Field](https://slcolonies.com/treasure/large-vegetable-field) | 10 | 15 m |
| [Medium Vegetable Field](https://slcolonies.com/treasure/medium-vegetable-field) | 5 | 15 m |
| [Small Vegetable Field](https://slcolonies.com/treasure/small-vegetable-field) | 1 | 5 m |

## The six stages

**1. Plough** — needs a **plough**. 50 energy.

**2. Fertilise** — needs a **large bag** and **fertiliser**. The large bag is made at the [basketweaving station](https://forum.slcoloniesroleplay.com/t/recipes-basketweaving-station/1284/1). The fertiliser is made at the [compost bin](https://forum.slcoloniesroleplay.com/t/recipes-compost-bin/1289/1) out of pig dung.

**3. Seed** — needs a **seed bag** :

> cabbage · carrot · tomato · lettuce · onion · yellow onion · pea · cucumber · bell pepper

**4. Water** — needs a **clay jar** and water.

**5. Growing** — **seven days**.

**6. Harvest** — needs a **sickle** and a **harvest bag**.

Each stage pays **10 Farmer crafting experience**.

## The pig, the compost bin and the field

This is the loop worth planning around, because the fertiliser stage will stop you dead otherwise:

- A **pig** produces dung, collectable once an hour.
- Two dung into a **compost bin** makes one fertiliser, and that takes about three and a half hours.
- A field wants **10 fertiliser**.

So a field’s fertiliser is roughly a day and a half of one compost bin’s output. Farmers who run vegetables tend to compost in bulk well ahead of ploughing rather than starting the chain when the plot is already turned.
