Flax Farming.

RedPower2 adds Flax, a plant that can be farmed, yielding String rather than Wheat. Flax Seeds & string can be obtained by breaking tall grass, similar to regular seeds. The Flax seeds look similar to a Pumpkin Seed, so don't confuse them. Farming is also similar to wheat farming, except that flax can only be planted on hydrated farmland (Dark colored fertile soil). Breaking the mature plant will give you some seeds and string. For optimum drops use a Sickle.

Flax Seeds are a necessary ingredient in crafting Paint Cans. Flax can also be used as a decorative house plant.​​

A flax plant cannot have Bone Meal applied to it if it is past it's initial stage of growth. Though the plant is two blocks tall, you must break both blocks and plant the seeds in order for it to regrow.
