![]() So the sell price will be 5.5k + 1.8k = 7.3k. The above figures do not factor in watering, item level nor friend boost.īoost, for single harvest crops applies a 20% bonus to the PROFIT of a crop (not the sale price).įor example: Sunflowers - 2.2k (sale) -1.5k (purchase) =. If you use a fruit stand, fruit converts to diamonds at 3.125 per diamond. Fruit is valuable in presses to convert to jam (and 5 diamonds at a rate of 10 fruit per diamond) and jam converts into medals. Pineapple unlocks at 32 and has a 1.5k profit and matures in 16hrs. That was my go-to crop for a long time until I unlocked Pineapple. It produces nuts and nuts convert to diamonds at a rate of 2.66 nuts per diamond. ![]() Profit at level 1 is 700k per and mature in 8hs. Please contact with questions and suggestions since I need all the help I can get.Sunflowers unlock at 17. This watering plan keeps my plants well hydrated throughout all watering restriction stages. Now that the days are hot, my soil is dry and doesn’t attract slugs, so I’ll mulch it with straw and weeds that haven’t gone to seed. When watering, I lay out soaker hoses along the rows and hook these up to a water timer with four spigots that water each section of the garden for half an hour, starting at 3 a.m. Following Solomon’s advice, I drilled quarter inch holes in the low edge of the sides of several small buckets and laid them beside the roots of the plants, then poured the compost tea into each of them and when they were all drained, I moved them over to the next plants. I also feed the roots of larger plants every two weeks with a quart each of diluted compost tea. Some authors say that regular composting and fertilizing can soften up the hard pan but I figure, why wait?Īuthor Steve Solomon recommends growing plants farther apart than usual so they will have more access to water and other nutrients and will grow bigger than if they were planted more closely together the harvest is not as much less as one would imagine. If there is one, a person can dig down and pop it every few inches, nibbling away until the whole garden has been done. Some soils have a hard pan under the top layer, and since crops cannot penetrate a hard pan to access water beneath, it behooves us to dig down at least 12 inches to see if we have one. With so much rain over the winter we should try and retain as much as possible in the soil to carry crops through the summer drought. Moving on, this week is all about conserving water in the garden. ![]() As Lucius Junius Columella would have said, mea culpa. Now I am playing catch up, spreading compost on top to cover all the roots, which is a ton more work than digging down the initially recommended 10 inches for each root. Unfortunately, I only discovered this after sharing the idea in last week’s column. I should have tried a smaller test, because they all moved themselves up even higher, some coming to the surface and drying out. That seemed reasonable to me, so I enthusiastically planted my entire asparagus bed four inches deep. One grower, for example, noted that regardless of how deeply he planted asparagus roots they always muscled up to a depth of four inches, so why not plant them at that depth to start with and save yourself the trouble of digging more deeply? Usually the tried and true works the best, but occasionally somebody comes up with a new and potentially better idea that deserves our attention. This is particularly true when dealing with gardening, where generations before us have worked out best practices through millennia of trial and error. We often do things a particular way simply because our elders taught us “that’s the way we always do it,” without explaining why.
