Compost Grow a Garden – Fertilizer Guide, Effects & Cost
Quick Overview
How It Works
Basic fertilizer that slightly speeds up crop growth. Great for beginners.
Fertilizers do not stack. Applying a new fertilizer will replace this one. Only one fertilizer can be active on a crop at a time.
How to Get Compost
- Gear Shop
Tip: Gear Shop stocks refresh periodically. If you don't see this fertilizer in stock, check back after a refresh or watch for it during special restocks.
Strategy Tips
Apply to multi-harvest crops like Tomatoes or Blueberries to maximise the number of harvests per session.
Combine with growth-boosting pets for compounding speed bonuses.
Use during longer play sessions so you can benefit from multiple harvests within the duration window.
Remember: fertilizers cannot stack with each other. Only one fertilizer can be active at a time per crop.
