_______________
Step By Step Gardening For Everything But Trees

1.Use Rake on a garden patch to remove the weeds
2.Use Compost on the weeded garden patch (optional,for best results use)
3.Use Seeds on garden patch
4.Water the patch,keep watered every now and then
5.Harvest your seed
6.Reapet Steps 1-6
Easy as that ; )

______________
Planting A Tree
______________
1.Buy a planting pot from the farm shop.
2.Place your tree seed into the pot.(requires trowel)
3.Water the pot until it grows into a sapling.
4.Then plant the sapling into a tree patch like you would any other plant.
Once a tree is fully grown, you are given a check health option.
You can put soil back into a pot by using it with a patch (requires trowel)
______________
Planting A Fruit Tree
______________
Same way as regular trees,just in a different patch.

______________
Making a nature amulet
______________
1.Cut a premature magic tree
2.Use this root on a spinning wheel
3.Attach what you have to a unstrung emerald amulet
4.Enchant
(i do not know this for a fact,but it sounds accurate)

______________
Hints and tips
______________
1.Do Farming Circles,if your level 1 ofcourse you cannot do this but,once you can do more seeds then do this,for example,plant potatoes in south fally,then teleport to camelot and plant barley,go back and forth and water them,you get more exp this way.
2.Use compost everytime for the best of results.
3.Carry 3-4 Plant cures,or depending on how many gardens you have then bring more.
4.Use as many gardens possible you can.
5.If you are vegetable planting,be sure to bring empty sacks to save up time and inventory space.
6.Carry more than one watering can so you dont have to fill them up constantly.
7.If you have a nature amulet,be sure to use it on the best garden you have,so its worthwhile.
While your waiting for your garden go pickpocket master farmers or steal from stalls to replenish your seeds

The captain Arnav thing he asks you too open a chest through a combination you can choose to decline and i guess he'll leave you alone, but if you try and do it and get it wrong the screen goes black and you "wake up" somewhere else, happened to me, i got it wrong and was taken to ice mountain.

i found that super compost is made out of pineapples, just i'm not sure, anyone can check that plz?

im posotive u can make super compost out of tomatoes,or just regular compost,im not posotive but...i see people putting tomatoes and waiting for them to rot in the compost pile

Author:  Athelus [ July 12th, 2005, 3:19 pm ]
Post subject: 

tomatoes in the compost bin turn into rotten tomatoes- as far as i have tried only pineapples work for super-compost- if you use something on a gardener though, he tells you if it makes super compost or regular compost- i think it takes about 15 pineapples to make one super-compost bin- i would reccomend saving some up so that you can have a supply of super compost- it helps alot

trees/fruit trees: to plant a tree, first buy a pot from the farm shop and place your tree seed in the pot (requires trowel)- water the pot and wait until it grows into a sapling in your inventory- you can then plant it in a tree patch as you would a seed.
fruit trees (meaning here trees that aren't used for logs) are grown in the same way, but in fruit tree patches.
Once a tree is fully grown, you are given a check health option. if it is unhealthy you can probably prune it with secateurs like bushes or use a cure pot on it, but i am not sure as all my trees have so far been healthy- once healthy and checked, you can use the tree, as explained below

as a side note, once the pot is used it is empty, and can be refilled from any farming patch with soil by using the pot on the weeded patch (trowel required)

fruit trees (like bushes) can be harvested again and again, and chopped down and dug up to plant a different tree if nescesary. Normal trees, will respawn after being cut down, and can be dug up again to plant a new one if desired



bushes: these plant in bush- patches like any other seeds- once fully grown, and had their health checked and possible pruned with secateurs, they produce berrys periodically, and as far as i can tell last forever if mantained. they can be dug up like dead plants if you should so wish

feel free to use this in your guide- patch locations in my next post

How do you get it wrong?! It tells you what to put in the middle right under each of the little scrolls...
