Compost Pile

A Compost Pile turns Leaves into Peat, the garden’s first fertilizer and a building material for the orchard, trellises and garden upgrades. Load 8 Leaves and it works by itself, three steps of a minute each, into 2 Peat. Every crop harvest drops 2 Leaves, so each Peat costs two harvests. It costs 2 Boards and 12 Sticks and comes with Fertilizers I (10 green), right after Gardening. You press Build at the garden’s build desk and the pile appears at its fixed spot at once.

Notes

  • No trader sells Peat, so this pile is the only source.
  • The talent Compost Chemist doubles it, 4 Peat from 8 Leaves.
  • The Compost Pile Upgrade replaces it with a bigger pile, once you also have Fertilizers III.
  • It can only be built once.
