Hey Farmers,
Do you need more Fertilizer? If so, the new Fertilizer Bin
is for you! Feed your animals to fill the Bin and then harvest it to earn free
Fertilizer for your crops. If that wasn’t enough, you also have a chance of
earning Speed-Grow when you collect from your Fertilizer Bin, so head on over
to FarmVille 2 and start building today!
If you are level 8 or higher, you will see the following
pop-up. Click on “Place Fertilizer Bin” to get started.
Building the Fertilizer Bin
Your first step is collecting construction parts. You will need the
following items to start building your Fertilizer Bin:
- Green Paint
- Grass Clippings
- Wood Plank
For the Green Paint, click on the “Post” button to post to
your Facebook wall – you will get the parts when your friends click on it, or
when you click on a similar newsfeed post.
To collect Grass Clippings and Wood Planks, click on the
“Ask” button to send requests for the items to your Neighbors.
You can also purchase any of these items above for Farm Bucks
if you do not wish to wait for your friends to respond to your requests or newsfeed
posts.

Note: You can post a request for Green Paint to your
newsfeed every 16 hours and send requests for Grass Clippings and Wood Planks to
your Friends every 18 hours.
Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building!”
button at the bottom of the construction Menu.

Now that the Fertilizer Bin is almost complete, you will
need a little help from your Neighbors to finish the job. The Fertilizer Bin
requires 4 additional mechanics, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send
some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in
the Build Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your friends,
click the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks.
Once you have successfully filled all 4 spots, click on the
“Finish & Share” button.

Using the Fertilizer Bin
You must have at
least one Adult Animal on your farm that is not Prized for the Bin to be
functional. When you feed your Animals, they will fill your Fertilizer Bin
Meter with compost, which is a new type of material that can only be
used with this feature.
Collected
compost
will be automatically added to your Fertilizer Bin Meter. Once your
Meter is full, you can harvest the Bin with a Fertilizer Rake
(see below) for extra Fertilizer.
To see your Meter, click on the Fertilizer Bin to open the
main menu. Your Meter is located on the left-hand side of this screen. The
number at the bottom of the Meter indicates how much compost you need to
collect and your current progress towards this goal.

Additionally, you can also see your progress by hovering
your mouse over the Bin to display the green progress bar.

Fertilizer Rakes & Harvesting your Bin
Once you have
collected the necessary amount of compost, you will need one Fertilizer Rake to
harvest your bin. You can craft your Rake in the Workshop with two Pieces of
Wood. Click on the turquoise “Craft” button to head on into the Crafting
Workshop.

Once you are inside
the Crafting Workshop, you will need two “Piece of Wood” to craft the Rake.

Note: If you do
not want to craft a Fertilizer Rake, you can use Farm Bucks to skip these steps
and get it right away.
A cute butterfly
flying over the Bin will indicate it is full. Once you have crafted your
Fertilizer Rake, harvest your Bin by clicking on it. When you harvest your Bin,
you will always produce extra Fertilizer, which can be used on Crops &
Trees.

Note: Any extra
Fertilizer you produce will be automatically added to the Fertilizer total at
the top of the game screen.

In addition to Fertilizer, you have a chance of earning
Speed-Grow when you harvest your Bin!
