Fertilizer is a heavy bag of NPK plant feed for the garden. It is spread on growing crops to help them along.
Its in-game tooltip says it is used on crops to increase growth speed and health. Farmers use it to bring a harvest in sooner. A full bag gives about eight uses. Its main cost is weight, since a full bag is a heavy load.
Fertilizer is found in outdoor supply storage, farm storage, garden stores and garages. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
The bag is used on a planted crop. Each use speeds up the plant's growth and helps its health. That shortens the wait for a harvest. It is most useful on slow crops and late plantings racing against the end of the season.
The letters NPK on the bag stand for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Those are the three main foods a plant needs.
A full bag weighs five units. As it empties, the bag gets lighter. It is best kept at the farm rather than carried around.
Upkeep
Each use takes about an eighth of the bag. After about eight uses the bag is empty. The empty bag weighs almost nothing. A fresh bag is needed to keep feeding the crops.
Locations
Outdoor supply storage rooms always hold a bag. Farm storage holds one more often than not. Garage crates and garden stores hold one about two times in five. Sheds hold one about one time in five. Outdoor supply store floors, florists, greenhouses and sun rooms turn one up now and then. General stores, tool stores and warehouses hold a bag only rarely.
