Quality Fertilizer is a Fertilizer that improves the chance to grow a quality crop. It can be crafted, obtained from a Bone Mill, or purchased for data-sort-value="150">Gold.png150g from Pierre's General Store beginning in year 2. It may also occasionally be sold by the Traveling Cart (in any year) for data-sort-value="10"Gold.png100–1,000g. Thirty Quality Fertilizer are the reward for completing the Bundle Orange.png 5,000 Bundle in the Vault.

Quality Fertilizer must be placed on tilled soil before a seed has sprouted.

Quality Fertilizer only affects the basic harvest, which means that extra crops gained at harvest (i.e., Coffee Bean, Blueberry, Cranberries) will be of regular quality.

When to turn fish into Quality Fertilizer

Below are quick-reference tables showing when to turn fish into Quality Fertilizer, based on the quality of the fish.

(The tables consider fish whose sell price is exactly 150g to be not good to turn into Quality Fertilizer, since the addition of the sell price of 2 sap (4g) makes it technically better to purchase Quality Fertilizer.)

History

  • 1.05: Corrected sell price from data-sort-value="20"> 20g to data-sort-value="150"> 150g.
  • 1.4: Quality Fertilizer can be applied to seeds (but can't be applied once a seed has sprouted). Can now be used in Tailoring.
  • 1.6: Quality Fertilizer now requires 4 sap instead of 2, but produces 2 per craft (still only requires 1 fish). Fixed quality fertilizer showing a green tile on sprouted crops, even though it can’t be placed there.
