Re: Trash Fruit - What is its use?

@jpkarlsen Really? I just recently asked several others in a thread about this and they said no, it must be a joke. At that point I had tried and couldn't find any option ot use it to fertilize (and this was a high-quality garden and a gardening career household  with Gardening at 10). So weird. I will have to give it a try again. Good to know! Thank you!  Now that you said that... can trash fruit work for fertilizer? 

Hmmm...Just checked @jpkarlsen and this is the conversation where I asked about the dog poop... guess we were not all positive, though. Now you know a use for your dog poo, @PugLove888 ! Hahaha! https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/how-do-you-fast-que-tasks/m-p/7164524/highlight/true#M8315  🙌 😬 😃

    It has never occured to me to try and use trash fruit as fertilizer. Perhaps I will try that one day. If I by accident create a trash plant.

    Thanks @SheriGR and @jpkarlsen. 😇  I always suspected that it might be usable for fertilizer, but then again it could be just for an added touch of realism / being a good Sim citizen!   Nice to know it has a use!  Now I wonder if when they give rainbow or golden poops if that increases the strengthen of the fertilizer or not? 🤔  I really need to combine gardening with dogs since I haven't really done that yet! 😳😇

    @burin077, I think in previous versions of the Sims (TS2 and/or TS3) that trash plants might have been used as fertilizer or compost.  I can't remember exactly.  🤭  But I only have  or 3 of my many households that have trash plants so I hadn't tested it because the idea of a trash plant repulses me! 🤒  I have it on one household lot because the owner is a mad scientist with several half-alien daughters and it just seemed fitting 😉 and another household that was planted by accident.  (I think either and angry neighbor kicked the trash over or a lazy Sim got sidetracked while attempting to take out the trash! 😃)  One day the plant just appeared right next to the outdoor trashcan!   I need to make a garden household with a couple of dogs and a trash plant and see what I come up with!  🤓😉:eahigh_file:
