New "Edge Plant" Spreadsheet up.

Just pick the "Field Level" from the pull down menu at the top, and it'll show you all the various Edge Plant quantities that you can grow with that crop.
I'm probably going to add an option for Humus tomorrow, but I'm burnt out on spreadsheets at the moment. Need a nap.

It would be even better if you make the link in the discussion post clickable.

Pretty much consider it "Done" at this point, feel free to copy it to your personal Google Drive and use it if you like.
Hope you find it useful!
Thanks in advance.
Otherwise you have to wait out the penalty.
On the plus side, you can continue to harvest clay, sand, and rocks during the penalty time..
1) Plant the edge plants just before the crop is ready for harvesting.
If you plant the edge plants one minute before the crop ripens, then the penalty time will be one minute. The downside is that the harvest of edge plants will be lower, even though they cost just as much to plant.
2) leave the crop in the field a while after it ripens.
The penalty time drops twice as fast while the crop with edge plants is sitting in the field waiting for harvest. For example, planting wheat (normally 6 hours) with edge plants, and letting it sit in the field an extra 3 hours before harvesting (9 hours total from when it was planted), and the penalty time will have expired.
These methods can also be combined. You could plant wheat, wait 3 hours, add edge plants, wait 4.5 hours (1.5 hours after ripening), then harvest.
Also I do the edge crops in fields over nite so it doesn't lock them up during the day when i play.
Seems certain edge crops do better with certain main crops - just a matter of planting and figuring out which is which

Plant the crop you wish or need to harvest watch the time to harvest - When this time counts down to around 30 sec give or take a few plant your edge plantings this seems to work well for us. We have tried a few different ways and the 30 sec mark yields the best results - We also found that humus may add to the penalty timer so we try to add humus way b4 edge planting to see if it helps - it seems to have an effect - Planting edge this way is hard to get the timer count when you have several fields. if you start a little sooner you can get the penalty timer down to less than 3 mins - Planting Wildflowers seems to help and you still get your sand - rocks - or - clay. Wf has no cost so very little loss.
Thanks Team G-Force United Research Team Sponsored by - Whoseesu/Winner - RedfoxFarmer - daffy5 - Bjs - And all the G-Force United CoOp for helping out with all the crazy ideas that did not work or may work after tweaking.
If you plant your edge plant 30 sec before the end, you will get a very little out of it. The number of edge plant products depends on the time it grows, but the planting costs does not. So - longer the plant grows - higher is the profit. And with 30 sec you have a loss even with very high farm happiness.
Much better is to plant your edge plant overnight: the timer would run out before you wake up + you would get some decent profit out of it.
Got 3 goldflower seeds from gold mystery box!!
Goldflower info, add to the spreadsheet
Has blue and yellow seeds.
The only crop that does not allow humus, buttons grayed out instead of missing
Edge plant info, Put this into spreadsheet!
I'm not sure I would want to use goldflower with the edge plants at this stage of the game.
A level 5 field with goldflowers will yield the amounts that are on the edge plant menu I posted. I wanted the info on the spreadsheet for people who are interested in the amount of edge crops for goldflowers.
This is the first time I had goldflowers, used level field to test how it works. I will wait until level 7 or 8 field before planting any more goldflowers.
Thanks for the numbers for the Edge Plants, I've got 'em added now.
