Deluxe Retaining Soil can be placed on tilled soil ''before or after'' planting a seed, or at any stage of crop growth. If the soil is not already watered, the fertilizer has no water to retain and plants will not grow until watered once. The chance for retaining water is 100%, which means after watering once the soil will be guaranteed to be watered up until the crop is ready to be harvested. This makes it especially useful in situations where [[Crafting#Sprinklers|Sprinklers]] are unavailable, such as in [[Garden Pot]]s or in most areas on the [[Farm Maps#Beach|Beach Farm]]. | Deluxe Retaining Soil can be placed on tilled soil ''before or after'' planting a seed, or at any stage of crop growth.
