Basic Fertilizer Information

Basic Fertilizer is a Fertilizer that helps by improving soil quality. It can be crafted or purchased from Pierre's General Store for 100g starting on Spring 15th of year 1.

Basic Fertilizer must be placed on tilled soil before a seed has sprouted.

Basic Fertilizer affects only the basic harvest, which means that extra crops gained at a single harvest (i.e. Coffee Bean, Blueberry, Cranberries) will be regular quality.

Basic Fertilizer Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [368]. You will then receive the Basic Fertilizer item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [368] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Basic Fertilizer item.
