Ash Fertilizer turns feces and Fire Ash into a crop input, linking livestock or outhouse upkeep to field production.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
At your base, with a Fertilizer Bucket near the livestock or Outhouse waste supply and the farm storage you intend to stock.
This is a small fertilizer-processing loop for farms that need Ash Fertilizer. Collect feces from livestock or an Outhouse, combine it with Fire Ash in a Fertilizer Bucket, then move the finished fertilizer to the Granary or plot that needs it. The crop’s displayed requirements determine whether Ash Fertilizer is the right input; do not assume all crops accept the same fertilizer. The method produces a farm input rather than seeds or harvests, so it fits into a crop operation that is already established.

Feces from livestock or an Outhouse.
Fire Ash for the Ash Fertilizer recipe.
A crop plot or Granary that needs Ash Fertilizer, plus storage space for the result.
Check the target plot’s requirements and confirm it calls for Ash Fertilizer before processing inputs.
Collect feces from livestock or retrieve it from an Outhouse.
Gather Fire Ash and bring both ingredients to the Fertilizer Bucket.
Open the bucket and select Ash Fertilizer from its available recipes.
Supply the recipe ingredients shown in the bucket and produce the fertilizer.
Collect the finished Ash Fertilizer and place it in the Granary or near the plot that will use it.
Check the plot’s supplies after stocking it, then redirect later batches to other fertilizer needs if appropriate.
Farming tips
Keep feces and Fire Ash in a dedicated input area so they are ready when fertilizer stock runs low.
Let the crop’s requirements guide fertilizer choice; Compound Fertilizer is a separate option when broad compatibility is more useful.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat waste and Fire Ash collection, bucket processing, and fertilizer stocking as needed. The farm input is renewable only while its ingredient sources remain available.
Common mistakes
Putting feces in the bucket without Fire Ash does not follow the Ash Fertilizer recipe; gather both ingredients first.
Stocking a plot without checking its fertilizer need can waste production effort; read its requirements before processing a batch.
Confusing fertilizer production with crop harvesting leaves the input unused; deliver the finished product to the relevant farm storage or plot.
When to stop or switch
Stop processing when the target plots have enough Ash Fertilizer for their current needs, or switch to another fertilizer recipe if the crop requirements call for a different type.
