Usage
Farming
A Farm can be set to apply Fertilizer to its fields. Soil nutrients slowly recover on their own when depleted, but Fertilizer replenishes them and can boost them above their normal level, as well as raise the level the soil recovers to.
Some crops depend on it:
- Tea Leaves demand fertilizer to grow properly.
- Peppers will not grow without fertilizer.
- Wheat is more sensitive to soil fertility than native crops, and Cotton depletes soil nutrients quickly; both benefit from it.
- Native crops such as Berries and Flax rarely need it.
See the Farmer's Almanac for more on soil nutrients.
Trade
Fertilizer can be traded to the Smuggler for 21 coins each. See Demands. It is not accepted by the Tax Collector or the Pirates.
