A Closer Look at Fertilizing

Crop Whisperer:
Fertilizing is just like any other harvesting, plowing, and etc. When you get the option of helping out neighbors, you can also fertilize their farm. There should be a pop up for helping them and then, once you close out of that, you can fertilize 5 plots of their crops. But! You can only fertilize crops in the process of a growing; meaning no dead rops or fully developed crops, and certainly not just plowed land.

But how? Well, if you look at a neighbor's farm after you have closed out of the pop up for helping them out, and they meet the criteria of fertilization abilities, then there should be an icon at the bottom left of the page within the FarmVille game. Simple enough?

There are no limitations on how many crops you can fertilize in one day. You cannot fertilize your own crops. You cannot fertilize the same neighbor's farm twice in one day. You can only do 5 or less of a neighbor's farm.

When you fertilize, it will have the same process of planting crops with the whole process bar telling you the percentage of how much it is finished. After you have fertilized a plot, they become all sparkly.

But wait! What does fertilizing do besides make it sparkly? Well, little kid, it makes them grow, atleast, twice as big and it rewards the neighbor extra experience points when harvested.

This guide is a little poor quality but you will get the idea and knowledge. Other youtube videos that had better image quiality failed to explain the entire process. Enjoy.

Update 2.0 on 10-23-09

FarmVille Fertilizer:

Now everyone (not just randomly selected users) can get their gritty, dirty, seedy hands on special fertilizer! You can fertilize 5 plots per person, but not your own. However, you can NOT fertilize dead crops nor fully grown crops. When you fertilize a neighbor's farm you can also help them out for clearing things and whatnot. So what that means, is that you can go towards getting the Crop Whisperer Ribbon AND the Good Samaritan Ribbon. Isn't that neat?

This is the symbol you should see at

the bottom left-hand corner of viewing

a neighbor's farm.

Ghost Chili:

Now (for a limited time, I'm asusming) you can grow Ghost Chili! You make 41 profit within 6 hours. What better way to grow new crops than with neighbors making them BIG?

Turtles? Where?:
How could we forget the adorable new turtles wandering about? Just like any lost ow, sheep, or duckling, you can adopt a turtle!
