'''Fertilizer''' such as [[saltpeter]], [[potash]] and [[bonemeal]] can be applied to the soil to replenish nutriments. Using | '''Fertilizer''' such as [[saltpeter]], [[potash]] and [[bonemeal]] can be applied to the soil to replenish nutriments depleted by the growth of crops without waiting for the slow natural replenishment in fallow soil (no crops planted) or the need for crop rotation. | ||
For example, the important crop flax removes potassium from the soil as it grows. Adding potash or saltpeter to the depleted soil after harvest will replenish potassium levels and allow replanting of flax on the same soil without waiting for natural replenishment and without the need for crop rotation. The type and amount of nutrient required for each crop is shown in the table of available crops in the next section. Having sufficient nutrients for each crop allows for the optimal growth rate if temperature and light requirements are also met. | |||
Using fertilizer is the only time a soil type can exceed the maximum nutrient level of the soil type. | |||
Note that saltpeter can't be detected by a [[prospecting pick]] (propick) and must be found while exploring caves. | |||
