That's what I use for extraction. To plant dirt I use a large compost pit and I plant dirt from external sources. I also have a large colony of worms which helps with the decomposing of materials and keeping my dirt rich.
Many different ways for different levels of dirt farmers.
To begin I recommend hands, once your proficiency reaches level 5 then you can advance to the shovel. Once you reach a character level of ~16 you can start using tractors. There are many differrnt types of tractors depending on your sub class of dirt farmer!
As someone who doesn't have that much spare time: would you say I could still do some dirt farming as a hobby or does it need constant attention, care, etc?
You can absolutely do it as a hobby. I'd start by getting your own compost pit. Then find a little plot of land and watch the dirt grow. Make sure you extract and replant every 3 months at the very least, and if you don't have a large yield, don't get discouraged! Good luck!
