Simple, will composting a patch that I'm having a farmer look after shorten the growing times? I've had some 30+ hour fruit trees and some Willows that have gone a couple hours over what I expected.

It has a chance to get diseased or whatever even if it's being watched, imo yeah use compost. You could even use super compost if you wanted.

I have composted them for a while, and I did notice a change in the growth times. Most of the time they're done after 14.6 hours if you compost them.

 

 

 

I've stopped composting though, because I don't need them to be done growing that fast. I just do my tree run every 24 hours and even if I don't compost them they're ready every time.

Alright, thanks both.

Use a super compost. If they get diseased, the farmer will cure them but they still lose a "growth cycle." I wouldn't pay farmers for yews though, your better off just using supercompost.

Yep, was planning on using supercompost anyways.

That's gambling 10 cactus spines against a whole yew seed AND a day's worth of yew tree exp. A poor gamble in my opinion. Just pay him.

 

 

 

As for the compost issue- don't use it if you only check every 20-24 hours like me. Your trees will be done in that time frame, period. If you want to be checking them ASAP and getting the most exp per day possible (and wasting a lot of time potentially finding trees which haven't grown yet and needing to check back later), then supercompost will probably shave an hour off your growth time occasionally.

It is not better to pay him if you're not in a hurry.

 

 

 

On average, 1/8 yew trees die with compost. Total cost: 480k for 49k xp.

 

If you pay the farmer, all trees will live. Total cost: 720k for 56k xp.

 

 

 

Seriously, it's not worth it. You could buy 4 yew seeds with the money you saved.

He speaks the truth... :thumbup:

composting provides slightly more Farming XP,You hire farmers for looking after your patches,so you don't need to care your allotments too much.

 

 

 

Usage of Farmers:Keep the **** off,Time is our element.

 

P.S: Some plantings are my ....!

I'd definitely compost them.

 

 

 

My trees were taking 10 hours, and my fruit trees were taking 30 hours when I didn't.
