Town Guide/Domestic Gooseberry Farm

"See also: Domestic Gooseberry Bush"Domestic Gooseberry Farms are a prominent feature of all villages, towns, and cities. They are essential to several critical industries, particularly the production of Compost. Gooseberries are often used as a food source for children and the elderly, but they are not an efficient food for adults.

In most populous settlements, local gooseberry farms are in constant need of maintenance.

Gooseberry farming is often regarded as one of the easiest tasks that a beginner can learn to help a settlement.

Overview
A Domestic Gooseberry Bush produces seven gooseberries. Unlike Wild Gooseberry Bushes, domestic bushes  do not  re-spawn berries over time.

In fact, Domestic Gooseberry Bushes need to be fertilized with soil and water before all of its berries spawn again.

As a result, the continual maintenance of Domestic Gooseberry Farms is necessary to produce berries.

Materials Required

 * Clay Bowl
 * Source of Soil or Compost
 * Source of Water
 * Basket (if necessary)
 * Bucket (if necessary)

Step 1: Identify a Languishing Gooseberry Bush
When all gooseberries have been harvested from a Domestic Gooseberry Bush, it turns into a Languishing Gooseberry Bush after 2 minutes. These bushes have a slight brown discoloration compared to healthy bushes, and they will not produce berries. Eventually, a Languishing Gooseberry Bush will die if left alone.

Step 2: Use a Bowl of Soil on a Languishing Gooseberry Bush
Look for a nearby soil. Several sources are common in towns:


 * Bowl needed: Fertile Soil Pile
 * Basket needed: Composted Soil, or Fertile Soil Deposit

Bowls cannot be used directly on large piles of Composted Soil, so take a Basket to split a large pile into smaller piles.

Take one bowl of soil and put it on Languishing Gooseberry Bush or Dying Gooseberry Bush. This turns it into a Dry Gooseberry Bush.

Step 3: Use a Bowl of Water on a Dry Gooseberry Bush
Look for nearby water. Several sources are common in towns:


 * Bowl (or Water Pouch) needed: Canada Goose Pond, Pond, Shallow Well, Bucket of Water
 * Bucket needed: Deep Well, Cistern, Newcomen Pump, or Diesel Water Pump

Take one bowl of water and put it on Dry Domestic Gooseberry Bush.
