Minecart Planter

Two seeds in an old minecart for 100 metal fragments. It is a planter for the look of a base, since every other planter grows more for what it costs.

Overview

In-game description
A small planter with enough room to plant 2 seeds.

Place it for the look. A minecart with a couple of plants in it suits a base dressed up as an old mine, or a front yard you want to look lived in. As a farm it barely counts: the game gives it room for two seeds.

Work out what you pay per seed. The minecart takes 100 metal fragments for two. The bath tub planter takes the same frags for three, a triangle planter box holds four for one tarp and some wood, and a large planter box holds nine.

You cannot research it either. If it is not in your crafting menu, scrap will not put it there. When you do have one, stand it by the door, grow something you can live without in it, and keep the real farm in boxes.
