The Empty Gardening Spray Can is a plastic pump sprayer for garden treatments. Empty, it is the base for homemade cures against crop pests and disease.
Farmers need it most. A garden in Project Zomboid can catch mildew, aphids or pest flies. Each of those has a spray cure, and every homemade cure starts with this empty can. Its strength is that the fillings are cheap and easy to find. It counts as survival gear and weighs very little.
The can is found in garden stores, farms, sheds and greenhouses. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
The can is filled with one of several homemade cures. Each recipe uses up the empty can and gives a full spray:
- Make Mildew Cure fills it with one litre of Cow's Milk, Sheep's Milk or other animal milk. The result is a Mildew Spray.
- Make Aphids Cure fills it with one litre of water and a little Rubbing Alcohol. The result is an Aphids Spray.
- Make Flies Cure from Cigarettes takes one litre of Water and five Cigarettes. The result is a Pest Flies Spray.
- Make Flies Cure from Loose Tobacco takes one litre of Water and eight pieces of tobacco.
- Make Flies Cure from Chewing Tobacco takes one litre of Water and Chewing Tobacco.
None of these recipes needs a skill. Milk, water, alcohol and tobacco are all common, so a farmer can keep cures on hand. Keeping a few empty cans at the farm means a cure can be mixed as soon as a pest shows up.
