Overview
Raised rows lift the crown zone above wet soil. On the Farm Map it is a soil tool, so the tile needs a recorded Soil test first. Each build adds +10% drainage and shows "Raised row ×N" on the tile.
Rules
- Cost: 80 coins, +2 XP.
- Shown as unlocking at Level 2.
- Works on empty ground, a Lavender Row or a Flower Farm tile.
- Maximum three raised-row builds per tile. If a tile is still wet after three, the game suggests a Drainage swale on a neighboring tile.
Why it matters
- A Lavender Row needs 70% drainage. A wet tile (34%) or clay tile (42%) can be brought up with raised rows plus Gypsum or Coarse grit, or a swale next door.
- The Field upgrade "Raised Rows" only protects plots whose row tile has raised rows (or a drainage swale).
Real-world note
The game notes that raised rows only improve drainage where they are built; real fields still need grading, outlets and erosion control.
