Obtain Fertilizer after placing specific items inside a Compost Bin or receive from a Worm Farm. Fertilizer can also be found from chests inside locked treasure rooms in the Deep Mine and brown chests in the Island Reef.
The Compost Bin is learned with the Farming Licence Level 2.
Usage[]
Fertilizer must be placed on tilled soil before any seeds are planted. Once in place, fertilizer will make plants grow in roughly 75% of the time for the initial growth period, rounded to the nearest day. It will not affect the regrowth of plants such as Tomatoes or Watermelons. (Note: Coffee is the only plant in which the fertilizer will increase both the growth and regrowth speed.)
A fertilized plot of land can be reused indefinitely and will not go away as long as there is a plant growing on it. If there is no plant growing on it, there is a 25% chance the tilled soil and fertilizer will disappear each day with the fertilizer disappearing first.
Check the Crops page for growth rate calendars for crops with and without fertilizer.
- Burying fertilizer
To grow giant varieties of the Gum Tree, Blackwood Tree or Pine Tree, bury a Fertilizer bag into the ground near/next to a fully grown tree then sleep for the tree to change to a giant variety. If using seeds, the tree will need to grow to full size before it will change to a giant tree.
To acquire a Gum Wood Log Stool, Hard Wood Log Stool or Palm Wood Log Stool cutting down a giant tree will leave behind a stump that the player can pick up.
