'''Fertilizer''' is used to support [[crop]] and [[Trees|tree]] growth and assist in [[farming]]. There are three types of crop fertilizer: Fertilizer, Retaining Soil and Speed-Grow. And there is one type of tree fertilizer: [[Tree Fertilizer]]. Some (crop) fertilizers are used by placing it on tilled soil before the planted seed sprouts; other types (of crop and tree) fertilizers can be used at any time during plant growth.  All crop fertilizers have three tiers, but all crop fertilizers affects all crops, including crops grown from [[Crafting#Seeds|Wild Seeds]].  Tree Fertilizer has one tier.

All fertilizer can be [[Crafting#Fertilizer|crafted]]. Recipes for first tier fertilizers is learned once the required level of [[Farming#Farming Skill|Farming]] or [[Foraging#Foraging Skill|Foraging]] skill is reached. Second tier recipes they are learned once required level of [[Farming#Farming Skill|Farming]] skill is reached. Third tier recipes are purchased on [[Ginger Island]]. First and second tier crop fertilizers can also be purchased at [[Pierre's General Store]] year-round, or at [[Oasis|The Oasis]] on specific [[Days of the Week|days of the week]].

Note that crop quality is determined at harvest time and not at planting time, so fertilizer used in the [[Greenhouse]] on crops which will mature out of their normal growing season will disappear before harvest and have no effect.

Removing a crop with a [[Tools|Tool]] like the [[Axes|axe]] does not remove the fertilizer.  A second hit with a tool, such as a Pickaxe is required to remove the fertilizer and make the tile fallow. As axes cannot make fields fallow, unless trying to change fertilizer entirely, it is suggested when on fertilized tiles to try use the wood-axe and not to use a pickaxe to clear unwanted crops, to reduce the risk of lost fertilizer.
