- Build John’s Goods after John occupies the Visitor’s Site.

How Dinkum Farming Works
Dinkum Farming works exactly as you’d expect. You need to till the land, plant seeds, and water your crops every day. Using fertilizer can also speed up crop growth.
Each crop has its own unique characteristics. Some crops yield produce only once, while others continue producing throughout the season. Harvesting methods also vary, with some crops needing a scythe and others simply requiring picking by hand. Some crops can be grown next to each other, but others require more space around the tilled soil.
Before meeting Rayne, you can also plant bushes, flowers, and trees. However, only crops purchased from Rayne will count towards farming milestones. Regardless of what you grow, most items can be used for cooking in various recipes.
How to Get Seeds in Dinkum
There are two ways to obtain seeds in Dinkum:
- Buying crop seeds from Rayne.
- Chopping down trees or bushes.
Remember that Rayne offers a random selection of seeds every day, so it’s a good idea to stock up in advance!
How to Plant Fruit, Bushes, and Trees
To plant fruit, bushes, and trees in Dinkum, follow these steps:
- Dig a hole with your shovel.
- Drop a seed into the hole.
- Refill the hole with the soil from your shovel.
If you prefer a faster method, you can also place a seed on the ground, dig on top of it to drop it into a hole, and immediately refill the hole.
Villagers Can Help with Watering
While watering your crops may seem like a daunting task, you’re not alone! Sometimes, you’ll find people in town helping out with watering, although there’s no guaranteed way to encourage this. However, keeping your planted crops near buildings in town can increase the chances of receiving help.
Protect Your Investment with Fences
As you progress in farming, accidents happen, and wild animals may damage your plants. To avoid this, it’s wise to surround your crops with fences for added protection.
