How to use Fertilizer for plants?

[8t88]

I am fairly new to fallout 4 and have to ask:
How do i use fertilizer on my plants in the settlement?

You don't... Plants just grow without having to do anything more than plant them...

Fertiliser is used for crafting certain chems, explosives (IIRC), and ammunition...

Fertilizer does play another role. Brahmin create fertilizer which enhances crop production.

Having Brahmin in a settlement is all that is needed... Your crops don't actually consume fertiliser...

I think just the presence of the Brahmin in the settlement is enough. The brahmin gives a reroll of "Surplus" production, 0-3 bonus crops per food unit. This is particularly nice for settlements you take over in Nuka World, as the excess production can keep the lazy-as-♥♥♥♥ raiders fed.

You do need to assign a settler to them each settler can care for 6 units worth of crops. The fertilizer i use mainly to make jet

Yeah, true... But I was referring to the OP's questions about crops needing fertiliser... Should have been a little more specific, it seems...

That helps. Crafting pots for plants. Yay!!
