FarmVille FAQ - Guide to Fertilizing Neighbor's Crops

Brandon Miller
FarmVille for Facebook is one of the best farming games on the web. One of the most important parts of the game is connecting with and helping your Facebook friends who also play the game. While there are several ways to help your FarmVille neighbors, you can help out by fertilizing their crops. Here is a complete FAQ guide on fertilizing crops in FarmVille.

I just started playing FarmVille. When in fertilizer available?

Fertilizer is only available once you reach level 4. Fortunately, level 4 is easy to reach. To do this quickly, plow as many plots as possible and keep planting strawberry plants. You should easily pass level 4 in the first day.

How do I fertilize my neighbors crops?

Visit your neighbor's farm by selecting a neighbor and clicking on the 'visit/help' button. Before you can receive fertilizer, you must first complete a chore to help your Facebook friend. Once the task is complete, you will be prompted with a message asking if you will help by fertilizing your neighbor's crops.

What are the benefits of fertilizing crops in FarmVille?

Fertilizing crops benefits both you and your Facebook friends. For your friends, fertilized crops earn extra experience points and money when they are harvested. You will also earn experience points and cash for each of your neighbor's crops that receive a boost from you. Each crop that you fertilize will also count toward earning your 'crop whisperer' ribbons.

I have bags of fertilizer available. Why can't I fertilize my neighbors crops?

The following are several factors that will prevent you from fertilizing crops: the crop has already been fertilized, the crop is fully grown, or the crop is old and spoiled.

How often can I fertilize my neighbor's crops?

You can only use 5 bags of fertilizer on each of your friend's farms every day.

How can I tell which of my crops have been fertilized by a neighbor?

Fertilized crops will show sparkling stars floating above the crops as they grow. Once they have fully matured, they will appear much larger than normal crops.

Fertilizing crops is a great way to help your FarmVille neighbors and interact with your Facebook friends. Hopefully, this guide will give you all of the necessary information to understand the fertilizing process. Whether you are new to Facebook games or an experienced FarmVille player, information and strategy is the most important tool to becoming a master farmer. Happy Farming!

    Why does it limit how many friends you can help each day? What is the limit? Some of my friends farms, though there are unfertilized crops, say that they are out of fertilizer. And some that have chicken coops won't let me feed them..
