Island overrun with flowers... send help

[Ananas Dragon]

Anybody else's island just flowers and flowers and flowers? How have you guys dealt with it? I'm literally thinking of selling all the non hybrids to nook's cranny or hosting a giveaway.

more importantly how do I hack flower killer in the game so i can have a poison watering can to solve problems

Just surround your Flower growing area with furniture or paved paths to contain the overgrowth. And don't water anything that you don't want to grow.

Yep and trees as well. I have way too many windflowers and hyacinths growing because of the rain in the game and I tend to overdo watering, I pretty much solved it though by throwing it away or selling it.

 

[Hedgehugs]

Yes! I had the same problem. Still do honestly. I moved all the flowers to my beaches and there was no space that didn't have flowers on it.

I had to get a friend to help me sell them at Nook's.
Of course, don't water flowers. And if you get rain (which is almost everyday for me), try not to cry on the flowers.

I can't help you with the poison watering can, but you should totally host a giveaway! I mean, why not? You get rid of flowers you don't want, And people who do want the flowers get them! Win-win!

Yesterday I TT'ed about 100 days one by one in order to breed blue roses, and in the process I hit a lot of rainy days. So yeah, my island is practically carpeted with flowers now. It's mostly hybrids, I sold all of the non-hybrids and it barely made a dent.

If you're planning on selling your flowers, I found that no one was interested in the normal kinds and only hybrids. The fastest way to get rid of them is to sell them in bulk for a cheap price or materials. If not, you can sell it to Timmy and Tommy for a small profit since you would spend about as much for the customization kit than for the flower profit. Otherwise, bring a trash can with you and dump it, it's much faster than running to Nook's

I end up with a ton of extra flowers if I'm cycling villagers so I usually end up selling the common ones to the Nooklings and selling off any hybrids I'm not interested in keeping. It's super time-consuming to clean everything up though.

The problem with Giveaways is that people can't dig up the flowers on your town, so you have to manually deliver to everyone who wants them. Or Best Friend them.

Here’s how I dealt with my flower infestation: couch co-op. In local co-op,Player 2’s tools cannot break, so I had my spouse dig all of them up with their magical, unbreakable shovel. The stuff Player 2 digs up goes right to the lost and found chest too, which I find helpful. I can just grab what I need when I’m landscaping.

The only downside is constantly hearing Player 2 go “Woohoo!” and announcing what they dug up. Turn the sound off to stay sane.

I dug up my flowers and ended up doing a giveaway a while back. Instead of letting people come to my island I did a bunch of deliveries. Otherwise I sell them to the nooks, or have a trashbin nearby so I can throw them out. Instead of wasting materials on crafting shovels over and over, I just customized my shovel every so often so it wouldn't break.

You can also drop a transparent pattern around your flower bed.

I recently thinned out my windflowers, as they had gotten out of control. My cosmos and mums are next.

I'm paying off loans and constriction, so I pick them if I want flowers for diys, then sell the stems to the NBs. It isn't a lot, but every bit helps.

I've been literally just throwing mine away in the garbage. I'm so tired of all of these flowers I just want them gone!!!! My shovels are constantly breaking!!!!!

Having to pick them up with a shovel is awful.

I came up with the idea in my head earlier of a new "tool" (more like accessory) called "garden gloves" that you'd put on and when you did so grabbing the flowers would pick up the whole flowers instead of just parts. Another more simplistic idea is having you pick the whole flowers when you're powered up by fruit (would be really arduous, given how it takes one fruit each and it takes forever to eat them).

Either way, they need to come with some kind of QoL update.

I did the campsite method, reached 2022, and forgot to fence my flowers. It spread more than I expected weeds. Spent the whole day just shoveling them.

It helps to have customization packs, the DIY table, and a trash bin in your pocket so you don't need to run back and forth. Customize your shovel every 30 flowers just to prevent it from breaking.
