'''Mulch''' (Japanese: '''こやし''' ''Fertilizer'') is a type of item introduced in [[Generation IV]]. There are four kinds of Mulch, each with a different effect.
'''Mulch''' (Japanese: '''こやし''' ''Fertilizer'') is a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Mulch may be used before planting {{Berries}} in [[soft soil]] to promote healthy Berry growth in various ways. Mulch has no use in {{pkmn|battle}} (aside from being thrown with {{m|Fling}}, in which case the move will have 30 [[Power]]).


A Mulch is essentially a fertilizer, which may be used before planting [[Berry|Berries]] in [[loamy soil]]. They promote healthy Berry growth, and have no use in {{pkmn|battle}} aside from being thrown with {{m|Fling}}, in which case the move will have 30 [[Power]].
If more than one Mulch is spread on one patch of soil, only the effect of the most recently used one will apply. According to the lady in the [[Berry Master]]'s house in Sinnoh, Mulch is made "by mixing high-grade soil with Pokémon...um...{{wp|Manure|you know}}..."


If more than one Mulch is spread on one patch of soil, only the effect of the most recently used one will apply. According to the lady in the [[Berry Master]]'s house in Sinnoh, mulch is made "''by mixing high-grade soil with Pokémon...um...{{wp|Manure|you know...}}''".
Mulch can be bought from the girl in the Berry Master's house on {{rt|208|Sinnoh}}, or in the {{DL|Goldenrod City|Goldenrod Flower Shop}} after acquiring the [[Berry Pots]].


Mulch can be bought from the girl in the Berry Master's house on {{rt|208|Sinnoh}}, or in the [[Goldenrod City#Flower Shop|Goldenrod Flower Shop]] after acquiring the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Berry Pots}}.
Due to the lack of [[soft soil]] in the [[Unova]] [[region]] and the fact that the Berry Pots are not obtainable, Mulch is a [[valuable item]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. In {{B2W2}}, Mulch can be sold to a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} at the end of [[Mistralton City]]'s runway for {{pdollar}}1000 each.


==List of mulches==
In {{g|X and Y}}, Mulch can be acquired from one of the {{kal|Berry fields}} composters. By putting in different combinations of Berries, different kinds of Mulch can be produced. If traded to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mulch cannot be used, as the soil is unsuitable for Mulch.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Because some Mulch can alter a Berry's growth rate, it is possible for some Berries with different base growth times to grow in the same amount of time. Similarly, Berries with the same base growth time can vary in actual growth time.

* Inside the Berry Master's house there is a book titled "Much Ado About Mulch: A Berry-Grower's Guide". The title of this book is a pun on {{wp|William Shakespeare}}'s "{{wp|Much Ado About Nothing}}".
