Farming

[avneet11]

When you are farming and you have a farmer watch over your crops, do you still have to water them or do anything to them?

 

 

 

I'm just wondering because I'm having them watch my tomatoes, but when the next stage comes up they aren't shown as watered. Thus I still sit there watering them. What exactly can I do and don't have to do when they are watching my crops?

Just use a super compost on it and you don't need to water it :

If your crops get diseased while the farmer is looking after them, he will cure them, but they'll lose a growth cycle. So, if you want them to be down as fast as possible, just compost them and have the farmer look after them. If you don't really care, don't bother composting/watering.

You don't have to anything when a farmer is watching your crops. You can just leave and come back later and, if you've waited long enough, they'll be ready for harvesting.

 

 

 

Also, just so you know, you don't even have to water your crops when you don't have a farmer watch them.

In the case of tomatoes, which you said you're doing, you could just grow a marigold in the flower patch and that will protect your crops for you, so you won't need to pay the farmer.

Make sure you use super compost always on allotment. It increases crop yield, which is where xp and money is.

 

 

 

Super compost also decreases the chance that your crops get diseased or die, but if you pay a farmer that chance is 0.
