Re: Since it is possible to sell horse manure, why can't I buy it?

You could also use dog poop or fish. As for using other plants - think of it as compost? There’s plenty of wild plants around the worlds you could harvest for compost if you don’t want to use anything you’re growing yourself.

    Thanks for your suggestions. 

    I probably sound really difficult here, but I don’t have pets - so no dog poop.

    I have a real issue with killing fish just to fertilise plants. I know they are not real, but the principle bothers me.

    I will follow your suggestion about harvesting wild plants. But I still think EA need to be a bit more flexible with the fertilisers. If I can’t buy horse manure, it is a shame that I can’t use chook manure on normal gardens.

    If I remember correctly, in sims 2 we could use raked up leaves to fertilise our veges. That was good, but a lot of work.

    I get the impression that the creators of the sims don’t actually garden in real life, or swim.

    But I do really enjoy the game.

    and thanks for your reply.
