Very few players know about the sprinkler method, but it’s the secret behind having gigantic crops.

Have you ever wondered how other players get unusually large crops in Grow a Garden? It’s because they apply a trick called the sprinkler method, and we’ll show you how to do it with this complete guide.

Apart from having stacks of mutation, another thing that can influence a fruit’s value in the game is its weight. Heavier fruits tend to be more expensive, and it’s easy to judge their weight just by looking at their sizes.

Bigger fruits mean higher weight, so if you're aiming to earn billions of Sheckles, your best bet is to grow massive crops and stack them with valuable mutations.

To do the sprinkler method in Grow a Garden, you’ll need the following items:

  • Basic Sprinkler
  • Advanced Sprinkler
  • Godly Sprinkler
  • Master Sprinkler (Optional, but having this will almost guarantee that your plants will bear massive fruits)

All of the sprinklers listed above are available for purchase at the Gear Shop. Just keep looking at the shop every five minutes until you at least get the Godly, Advanced, and Basic sprinklers.

The Master Sprinkler is very rare, so your best bet to get it is during admin abuse events where Jandel makes it in stock.

The sprinkler method in Grow a Garden involves doing the following steps:

Step 1: Harvest all the fruits from the crops you want to produce bigger harvests. Make sure that these crops are within the same radius of the sprinklers that you’re going to use.

Step 2: Once you’ve emptied out your crops of fruits, place all of your sprinklers at the center of your target crops. Do not stack the same type of sprinkler; you only need to use one sprinkler for each type.

Step 3: Leave the game for at least an hour.

Step 4: Return to the game, and watch your garden filled with gigantic crops from the spot you put your sprinklers on.

Some pets can further increase your chances of getting large fruits, such as the Turtle, which increases the duration of the sprinklers, and the Moon Cat, which increases the size of new fruits.

If you have more supply of sprinklers, you can keep repeating the method in case you still end up having medium-sized fruits after returning to the game. Just harvest the fruits that you don’t like, and place another batch of sprinklers.

The best crop for applying the sprinkler method is the Moon Melon, which can grow to the point that its size can invade another player’s garden. Colossal Moon Melons can reach a value of a trillion Sheckles with the right stack of mutations.
