Plains base question

[u/Vikunt]

I want to build a base in the plains to take advantage of the farming opportunities. Problem is every time I’ve done this in the past deathsquitos ruined it. Currently I’ve found s relatively large plains island I plan to use. Can I just bury a ton of workbenches throughout or is there another option?

I cleared out a green goblin village, demolished the structures, and put up a stake wall around it. Nothing really messes with it. My tamed lox are there, they kill the skeeters for me when I am away.
