You can, kind of, but it takes a bit of careful planning. You can carefully raise a kelp bed so that the kelp is on the side of a slope of a tile you can walk on. Of course, this isn't via planting it, but with careful 1 tile away raising, you can create a farm out of a natural spawn so that you don't need to swim to harvest it and it is renewable. 

 

However, +1 to kelp seeds. In the meantime, try raising a natural spot so it is more manageable.

LMAO autocorrect nightmare just happened!

This would be good, but I have to wonder if it wouldn't be better for us to be able to plant "natural" reed and kelp tiles, and harvest them the way we would with the wild variety.

+1 if some kind of paddy option were added to grow these on mountains

[11:58:39] This kelp is growing out of your reach.

Less crop tile more manageable natural spawn

[JakeRivers 2921]

we just need kelp dredges!

[Reylaark 1100]

+1 to getting kelp seeds and growing it like rice and reed pls.

[Tallios 307]

maybe kelp could be grown at a deeper depth?  

 

Definately agree some sort of farming option should be available.

[Dorian 865]

+1 I would love to have my reed/rice farm be a reed/rice/kelp farm

Can we get two versions? I would love to plant it like a crop and like flowers(or that how the wild stuff could work). Sea bed is dead and I hate the look of marsh. Yes I would be that random person planting everywhere I could find it.

Couldn't think of why at first, but yes, it seems kelp is usually completely submerged.

 

I made a water field for rice/kelp/reed(how I learned kelp can't be planted).  It wouldn't be hard to have tiles in the middle be deeper to accommodate kelp.  Would look pretty cool I think.

Have kelp spread like trees as long as the highest corner of the dirt or sand tile is below X depth.

[Maiya 491]

kelp spread itself 

i have a waterfield i dont grow on atm 

and in some corners i have got kelp  that had spread there itself 

and its not the tiles that is closest to sea  that got it 

sry went over and looked at my waterfields and it wasnt kelp that had spread out there :/ it was reed 

so yes let us have kelp spreading too

raising this from the depth of the sea.

 

why not make it a vynora spell to create a kelp tile? "Seeds of the deep" or such
