As soon asDisney Dreamlight Valleyplayers find the Royal Shovel, they can dig around the Valley and get soil. It’s one of the easiest materials in the game to get, but finding it in large quantities can be both difficult and time-consuming. Thankfully, there are some tips that can help players farm soil quickly. In fact, there’s even a way to get a ton of soil andearn a lot of Star Coinsin the process.

Soil is used for a lot of different crafting recipes, including roads, paths, Trellises, and more. But even if players aren’t planning on making any of thoseDisney Dreamlight Valleyrecipes, it never hurts to stock up on materials in this game. Players can store their excess soil in a chest, and it will be available for crafting whenever it is needed. With that in mind, here are some ways to farm Soil quickly.

Get Soil By Digging

The most straightforward and obvious way to get Soil is by digging it up. There are a few things to keep in mind if players want to maximize the amount of soil they get. For starters, players should have a companion with them who is specialized in the Digging role, preferably acompanion with level 10 Friendship. Every time the player finds Soil, their companion will have a chance to find additional Soil.

Another thing to consider is which biome to dig in. Although Soil can be found in any Biome, theGlade of Trust, Sunlit Plateau, and the Forgotten Lands can also drop Clayfrom digging. Likewise, digging in the Frosted Heights will sometimes reward Snowballs, and digging in Dazzle Beach rewards Sand. For this reason, if Soil is the only thing players need, it’s best to dig for it in the Plaza, Peaceful Meadows, or Forest of Valor.

Use Rich Soil to Get Soil

One final way players can get lots of Soil easily is by crafting it. After theDreamlight Valleyupdate that added Scar, players now have a chance of getting Rich Soil whenever they harvest a crop. This can be used to craft the Miraculous Growth Elixir items, but it can also be crafted into five Soil.

Players may find that they already have a lot of Rich Soil saved up, which they can use if they need Soil in a pinch. To farm Rich Soil and craft it into regular Soil, players should plant fields of wheat and then harvest them. Alternatively, planting other crops can provide a lot of Star Coins and players will get Rich Soil as a byproduct of harvesting.
