Re: Favorite Fertilizer Option Please

@SheriGR Oh, now THAT would be a good idea. I'm thinking like the little automated vacuum machine for your house. A little robotic buddy that will auto-harvest or auto-sell plants.

    @Psychotps :eahigh_file: Yes! I love that idea! Maybe if we ever get a farming pack my huge greenhouses & gardens will make more sense... I'm hoping for that! Wouldn't that be a great idea... to have a harvesting machine that could then harvest those for you or 'super sell' as a batch?!

    Once I found out that harvesting and keeping the produce in personal inventory started making for ginormous household bills (I had a ton of perfect dragon fruits, for example and spent well over a rl hour clearing them out of inventory one night - and was a millionaire afterward)... I had to make a new plan. What I do now is first have them harvest just the plants I want to keep the produce from (to sell in a retail store, for herbal brews, flower arranging, or to cook with), then I queue up 'super sell' commands for everything else by areas. Works pretty efficiently. I also move the 'to sell' produce to the Lice Cold Freezers at the retail store and the flowers to the flower-arranging tables (both of these items sync with each other on lot, like the refrigerators do). This way I don't have a bunch of produce and flowers in personal inventory that adds to household bills.

    The sprinklers also save TONS of time if you upgrade them all to unbreakable and no puddles and space them carefully to cover everything. This can even be done inside a greenhouse by removing a wall panel, removing the floor to the plant area (leave at least one square around the 'sunken' area), then plant directly in the ground if you want. Place the sprinklers, then replace the wall panel in the greenhouse. Now your greenhouse will self water, yet will be fully sheltered for all seasons (that is what was done in this greenhouse - pic below). Patchy is also a lifesaver for maintaining a large garden, as is a butler and a gardener.  🙂

    @SheriGRYea, that's pretty much what I do. I harvest what I need and sell everything else. The beehive handles fertilizing, the sprinklers handle watering, I just need to sell all or supersell each day.

    I only end up harvesting once a week or so. I never use any of the rest. That's why I don't need such a huge garden. One of each plant is FAR more than enough for everyday use. The rest is just cash. If I want more money, I'll plant more dragonfruit. My two perfect dragonfruit plants net me over 5K a day.

    Making a million isn't hard.  I could easily take my perfect dragonfruit and plant 20-30 more plants. In a few weeks, I'd have a million.  I don't play for the cash, Just the challenge of the jobs and stuff.

    I'm currently working my way through the social media career, just got the goal to obtain 25 million followers... gonna take some work.
