How do I get and use Fertilizer in Fae Farm?

Fertilizer is a craftable item which helps your crops grow faster or gives them added benefits. There are three kinds of fertilizer:

  • Bounteous Fertilizer
  • Magic Crop Swap
  • Zippy Fertilizer

The first place you can get fertilizer is from Hollyā€™s Seed Shop in town. The types of fertilizer that she has for sale are listed at the end of her shop menu. However, you must first reach Farming Level 3 to buy fertilizer from her. You do this by planting and tending crops.

Hollyā€™s shop is the best way to get fertilizer if youā€™re just starting the game. Making your own fertilizer requires a lot of materials which can be only obtained a little later. This is done via the Garden Bench. You can create the Garden Bench with 3 Oak Lumber, 15 Clay, and 15 Silt. You can craft Oak Lumber from putting ten Oak Logs into the Lumber Station, and you can get Clay and Silt from digging. A Garden Bench will help you make seeds and fertilizer without needing to buy them, sending you on the path to making your farm more self-sustaining.
