Composter Question

Do we really need a Composter on both the Main Farm and the Gourmet Farm?  In other words, does the Main Farm Composter use material from the orchards on the Gourmet Farm too, or do I have to have the Gourmet Farm Composter to utilize the leaves from the Gourmet Farm orchards?

    Also, same question in regards to the Farm Laboratory.  Do I really need a Farm Laboratory on both farms?

    The composter on the main farm uses materials from the main farm and the gourmet farm. I only have a composter on the main farm, have not put one on the gourmet farm and I do fine with just the 1. 

    As for the Laboratory, it is up to you... I have a lab on all 3 farms and they are busy 24/7. :)

    It has saved me money in the  long run.

    I personally can not have enough humus...so I have a composter on my main plus on my gourmet....I use the gourmet to compost the overages after my main one is in the long hours of composting....as far as the labs, I use them on all my farms (different levels though). Some are making premium cow feed, others are making other premium stuff (fertilizers, duck, donkey, goat, chicken and pig prem. feeds). The premium stuff gives off XPs and so I almost totally use premium feeds and fertilizers for all my farms.  The XPs help me to level up faster.  o:)

    Both comments are very helpful.  Thanks for taking the time to answer.  I think for now, I'll go with just the one composter on the Main Farm.  It's currently at level 5 and stays busy, where the Gourmet Farm composter is only at level 2 and there is not that much overage yet.  I'm going to demolish the level 2 composter to make room for another orchard and use the dollars to make much needed upgrades.  Again, thanks for the info!  BTW.  Hit Level 75 today, so I'm pretty pleased with that accomplishment!

    I'm thinking of doing the same.  I haven't had to use the one on the GF in a very long time.

    I'm lvl 237 and have just built a gourmet composter for the first time  lol
    Been getting a lot of double XP so been using blue fert humus on gf and ff as welll as mf. One composter could just not quite keep up with 16 orchards Gardens and Meadows as well as Wheat (even with high lvl Watertowers). gf is only lvl 2 but it just makes that little difference.  :¬)

    Also a good point.  My GF composter is level 3.  Maybe I'll hang onto it for when the day comes I have 16 orchards.  (If I live that long. :) )

    The day may be sooner than you think with all this cash spewing out of the fishing fleet.  :¬D

    It will take me forever to get to the fishing fleet stage.  Still working on Oleg's tasks.  (Not a gold player, can you tell?)  :)

    Me not a gold buyer either.
    Just reread my post, what has fertilizer got to do with the composter? maybe my age is showing  lol.
    I will edit to make it make sense.

    Don't wait.  Get to Fleet Fishing as soon as you can.  Spend whatever you have to.  You'll make more dollars with your fleet than you can possibly make on your farms.

    I have done the same .... Long time ago I demolished the composter on the GF after 6 months as I didn't have much use for it. My composter on the MF appears to be more than enough! And I can recommend a lab on all 3 farms for the same reasons as described here above!

    I understand that, but the tasks take me forever, primarily because I absolutely hate fishing. And it's not much of a game if you hate what you're doing.  Making money is not my top priority, it's the game play.  "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey." :)

    Gourmet farm composter is useless.  The main farm composter is much more efficient, gives more xp, and can drop tools and collectibles.
