- Having the Performance Appreciation buff active while gardening will increase the experience gained for each plant harvested.
- Playing an instrument or standing in the proximity of someone playing one while gardening will also randomly yield more harvest. You will be prompted when this effect takes place.
- The recipe for Bottle of Fertilizer can be bought from Therese. That recipe takes one Strange Dirt.
- After gaining favor with her to Friend, she will also sell a followup recipe how to make Fertilizer from Bone Meal. At Close Friends Therese will teach you a recipe how to make Bone Meal from Femurs.
