Probably. Though the first time I fertilized with the orange manure spreader, many full grown pines got fertilized which other didn't. Oh, well, either way, it's still a bonus to have even part of them be fertilized
I am adding a few more pigs now to have more fertilizer available since a small number was adequate when only crops were fertilized. No problem since we can exchange gifts.

You still only need to fertilize every three days. I have 75 pigs which keep all my farms fertilized with some to spare.

Just went back and counted my pigs. I have 10 in the pen and 27 in the sty. That seemed enough for my 7 farms (not all fully expanded and none planted edge to edge with crops) before the orange spreader and ability to fertilize trees was added.
Thanks for your comment. I think I will add more pigs -- maybe build up to 60 or so.
Too bad all that virtual cow, goat, sheep and chicken manure goes to waste LOL

I think you're right, Tony. I'm working up to that number now. May need the air freshener factory soon to freshen up the air over farm 6 LOL

I have just purchased another pig sty, but it won't load the pigs. One pig sty is NOT producing enough fertilizer for 10 farms. Can you still get manure if they pigs not kept in the pig sty?

Hi yes it will, did you put the sty on a different farm ?

Wow...I have one pig sty with 100 pigs...10 farms....and I'm swimming in pig poop.

I just did a quick test on a farm to see if the game does indeed give double the harvest. I harvested 50 fields of wheat and the stone mill only saw 50 units. When does the game calculate the double harvest? I'm concerned because when I harvest the blue save button goes off every other field. Am I not giving the buffer time to save? I ask this question now after 8+months of fertilizing. AAUUGGHH!

[Jailnurse]

Okay, did another test allowing the blue save to finish each time. This time harvested 160 fields, again stone windmill only saw the 160. Am I missing something here?
