Using soil as fertilizer

[LimaZulu]

I did a bit of hunting and didn't find this idea represented in the forum, so I figured I'd take a crack at it, and sorry mods if I missed a pre-existing one.

It'd be simple. Just like growing crops, you plow your field. Instead of seeds, you'd right click soil, left click the plowed ground. Dunno how long's a good amount of time for the fertilizer to take to set or whatever, but I guess that could be decided by smarter folk than me. The effect on the soil q would be some fancy math formula that they teach in Yankee schools.

What do you all think?

For sure fertilizer's been suggested, but this isn't a bad way of calculating it. It'd probably be an average of both soils.

Another way to explore would be clay as a mineral source for plowed fields.

That's possible, too.

Seems reasonable I like the interface part of copying seed planting. Some other forms of fertilizer need to exist as well, possibly made from bones (cause we still have metric fuck-tons of excess bones even after bone-glue was added to the game) or some kind of 'limestone' rock which we can mine.

Sure. I dunno what all different fertilizers could do, but maybe we could get creative and have different things added in with soil to fertilizer do different things. Maybe J&L could implement something where certain crops required certain things added to the soil, like ground up bone material or something like that, in order to be planted.

Bear Bone Beer...Hmm...

How about using cow feces as fertilizer?
