drahon dung is the stool of any fire breathing dragon. It can be used as a fertiliser or for compost. It is scentless and because of the acids in the dragons stomach, can break down any material to it's most natural state.
mooncalf dung is also a fertiliser. It is a gentler option than dragon dung and used for more sensitive plants. It has lower nutrients than dragon dung.
centaur tears are a favourite drink for most plants. It is vitamin rich compared to water. It will revive plants moments from death. Important to remember that centaur tears are toxic to plants grown in salt water.
