A negative fertility value, which can be seen on the My Home bulletin board, indicates that the land is too barren to be farmed properly. You can restore the fertility of the land by collecting excess plants and flowers growing on the land. Residents who have '''farming''' or '''gardening''' as a job or hobby will increase the fertility of the land. | ||

By the way, you can get a '''Defertilizer''' by mixing fertilizer and burnable or non-burnable trash in a stone jar.

Once your crop has grown to harvest time, it is time to harvest. Don't forget to use a sickle to secure the seeds for the next growing season. After harvesting, the plants will not bear fruit again, so clear away any remaining grass and sow new seeds. | Once your crop has grown to harvest time, it is time to harvest.

Mature trees planted in the field reliably drop seeds, so logs can be consistently collected without worry. | |||

The + value of the crop improves the quality of the log or crop, increases the number of materials obtained if it is a tree, and enhances the '''[[Elin:Items|item trait]]''' of that log.

The probability of a seed being enhanced increases if fertilizer is used, if the player has faith in the harvest Kumiromi, or if the player's farming skills are much higher than the level of the seed. | Note that the only food traits that can be given to seeds through breeding are those related to potential and [collagen-rich] (increased charisma experience). | ||

The probability of a seed being enhanced increases if fertilizer is used, if the player has faith in the harvest Kumiromi, or if the player's farming skills are much higher than the level of the seed. The maximum level of seeds that can be improved depends on the player's farming skill. | |||
