Using Potash

I assume that only planters apply potash to farm plots?GarrieIrons 02:49, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

Why?

How useful is potash to your farming production? Is it good enough to even bother with? I don't generally run out of food, but I guess this would allow me to use fewer seeds, fewer farmers, and less space. Also, how long does it take to fertilize crops, and does it impede actual planting? --Smartmo 18:52, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

See this link Farming#Increasing_yield. You can had 1.5 times the yield with fertilizer. Bigger stack mean bigger meal, so you need less space to store it, less barrel, etc. --Karl 21:48, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
