Compost Needed
Sally wants to grow henbane, witch hazel, and worm’s wort in Disney Dreamlight Valley. But, the soil in the Valley just isn’t rich enough for them to grow properly.
Your help is needed to craft a Compost Bin. It’s a great way to get soil rich with the nutrients her garden thrives on. The trimmings added to the Compost Bin will decay to grow or create a nutrient rich soil. All she needs to do then is add the rich compost to her garden!

Decay to Grow and Season
It takes a bit of convincing on Sally’s part, but she and Mike finally come to an agreement. Mike can have some of the Compost to season his food, but he must leave enough for Sally’s garden as well.
Mike sees this as quite a waste of good seasoning, but the deal is struck! He gets great seasoning, and Sally gets rich soil for her garden. A great solution all around!
Quest Task: Listen to Sally explain her compost setup to Mike.
Quest Task: Talk to Sally.
ProTip: If Sally and Mike to not start their conversation, try hanging out with Sally and entering the Vitalys Mines. Mike should be there when you arrive at the Compost Bin location.
