Fertilizante
El Fertilizante es usado para inducir distintos efectos en el crecimiento de las cosechas y mejorar la agricultura en general. Algunos fertilizantes deben ser usados en suelo arado, antes de colocar las respectivas semillas; otros son usados luego de haber plantado la semilla, así como durante el crecimiento de la planta. El fertilizante se mantiene durante toda la estación. Cuando la estación acaba, generalmente el fertilizante desaparece, pero si este fue usado para un cultivo "multi-estación" como el Maíz, el fertilizante se mantendrá en el suelo y continuará proveyendo de sus beneficios. Remover un cultivo con el pico no eliminará el fertilizante usado. Los fertilizantes no pueden ser acumulados (solamente un tipo de fertilizante se deberá usar por bloque de suelo labrado). Si un fertilizante es usado dentro del invernadero, desaparecerá en la estación siguiente, incluso si es colocado para cultivos que son "multi-estación" como el Maíz.

Tips
Crafting Fertilizers is always a better option than buying them, and will save you a lot of money throughout the course of the game.
Sap is very easy to come by (from cutting Trees and killing Slime), so remember to craft Basic Fertilizer as soon as you hit Farming Level 1. It is well worth it.
When you reach Fishing Level 3, a good tip is to craft a number of Crab Pots and place them in the small lakes within your farm + a few by the ocean. Use the caught Perriwinkles, Snails, Shrimps, Mussels and Oysters (classified as Fish) to combine with Sap to make Quality Fertilizer. Easy and cheap.
The Speed-Gro and Deluxe Speed-Gro variants are also cheaper to craft than to buy (contrary to earlier suggestions on this wiki page). For each Pine Tar/Clam combo, you actually get five Speed-Gro packs (1 Pine Tar + 1 Clam = 5 Speed-Gro), which saves both money and resources. Same goes for Deluxe Speed-Gro (1 Oak Resin + 1 Coral = 5 Deluxe Speed-Gro), so get those Tappers up and running.
