Everything you need to know about Fertilizer in Palia
Once you’ve figured out everything you need to know about advanced gardening in Palia you will want to understand a bit more about how the Fertilizer works.
There are different types of fertilizers in Palia that provide your crops with different outcomes, with some being easier to come by than others.
QualityUp Fertilizer – This is the easiest to get as it can be crafted at the workbench but also comes out of the regular Worm Farm. Not needed much because you can use Wheat and Rice to increase quality.
HydratePro Fertilizer – Used to retain water in your crops. If your plot has lots of Tomatoes and Potatoes you may not need this one, but if you decide to go without them, or have crops that do not touch a water retention crop.
Weedblock Fertilizer – Does what it says on the Tin! Placing this Fertilizer on your crops will prevent weeds from growing.
SpeedyGro Fertilizer – Provides your crops with that much-needed Growthboost, if you need it!
Tips And Tricks
- Once you plant a crop, you cannot take it up! So be careful placing your Blue Berry and Apple trees as they take quite a few in-game days to harvest if you change your mind!
- You can place fertilizers on top of each other! So if you place the wrong one, no fear, you can apply the new one on top to replace the older one.
- Seed Collectors are your friends! They will allow you to create an infinite number of seeds and quality seeds with our own crops, without buying them from Zeki’s store!
- Tomato Seeds sell for Good money.
- To keep your garden growing you need to make sure they are watered and weeded.
