Fertilizer
Fertilizer is one of the most impactful consumables in Grow a Garden. A single application before harvest grants a flat +25% mutation chance and guarantees one extra yield, making it essential for maximizing returns on expensive seeds like Rainbow Seed, Golden Watermelon, and Dragon Fruit. The cost-to-value ratio is extremely favorable on high-rarity crops.
