I usually embark with a stream or river and use a floodgate/bridge to tap it and get my muddy ground. I used to use bigger plots but 3x3 is the size I use now. I don't bother fertilizing and am usually swimming in food. 4 plots is a good minimum to start with, I've never needed more than 12.

One final thing, you need barrels, lots and lots of barrels. Buy barrels from the trade caravan (preferably containing exotic liquors.)

Why 3x3? Most people I know use 7x7.
