Potted plants are a waste of time and humus, but if you do want to have some I would reccomend only doing these two food dishes until they outlive their usefulness:

I was noticing that potted plants were humous-guzzlers. What do you think would be a good humous cost for them? 1 per pot?

You have to use 3 humus to prepare the pot. So you can get 8 pots planted every 3 days out of one compost bin.

Thanks for the insights. 2 grass per pot per cycle? You're surely in it for the long haul.

3 grass per pot with whatever skill it is that gives you one extra with gardening (cannot think of what it was offhand). But yeah, I have a lot of stuff growing, 15 pots of grass for hay provides me with 6 hays every harvest. I am approaching the point where I have to decide for myself if it is worth expanding this or not.

Why would you grow grass for hay? With that 45 humus you could plant 22 fields of cereals and get 22 hay instead, plus a lot of spare oats for filling your compost bins.

space limitations. Until I either make a new claim for more farmland or expand an existing claim (and there is only room for expansion on one side with my primary claim), I have room for pots, but not for fields. Plus I am grinding purity more than I am raising influence - this will change in the future, but for now the potted grass works - it seems the time to make and fence in a new claim, plus the silver costs are more inefficient than my current set up since hay demand is minimal - I am dumping coal and to a lesser degree lime on all but cotton fields currently. It is only 1.25 bins of humus to run 15 pots of grass harvested every three days and I have plenty of excess scraps to run that - humus is not a limiting factor at all, and does not take any time above and beyond dumping scraps in to keep fueled.

As mentioned it becomes too resource intensive to grow potted plants to make food. Especially once your crops gain purity it makes the 'capped out' 10% potted ingredients obsolete over time.

Stick with lead sugar caps for shroom pies for Blood. Blood will become your biggest problem after 100 humours on a newer server Jamestown/Roanoke.

Only other thing I would mess with is autumn grass for purity Wicked Wicker Man Masks. Perennial Philosophy helps slotting whispering snake skulls into clothing if you are a tailor. It is also rumoured to be the base proficiency for witches. Untill you have super high pumpkin purity for stage 3 ghostriders it will be your main source of perennial philosophy besides splintering crosses which can only take you so far.

Perennial Philosophy [...]. It is also rumoured to be the base proficiency for witches.

Not to derail, but...

I'm curious as to where you heard this rumor or if it's more of a speculation. Of course, I'm not debating it as it makes good sense in several aspects, just curious as to where it drifted on the wind from.

No idea where that came from but people have always thought it will effect witchcraft. I think it will effect the church system instead of witchcraft or maybe both.
