Quality Retaining Soil is a Fertilizer that has a chance to keep soil watered. It can be purchased from Pierre's General Store for 150g from year 2 onward, from the Oasis for 200g on Saturdays, or crafted once the player has reached farming level 7. 5-7 Quality Retaining Soil may occasionally found in Supply Crates on the Beach Farm if the player has not upgraded the Farmhouse or only upgraded it once. Quality Retaining Soil may randomly appear in the Traveling Cart's stock for 100–1,000g.

Quality Retaining Soil can be placed on tilled soil before or after planting a seed, or at any stage of crop growth. The chance for retaining water is about 66%.

Quality Retaining Soil 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 [371]. You will then receive the Quality Retaining Soil 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 [371] 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 Quality Retaining Soil item.
