So, I created a vineyard on medium fertility soil, with a ton of berry cuttings, and later on in the year, I come and see that the bushes are... struggling? The hud shows that their nutrient levels are at around 25%, so I break one bush to take a look at the soil and see that it has reverted to low fertility soil. What gives? I thought only the nutrient levels would go down, not degrade the soil itself. The hud also doesn't have text explaining what needs to be done to give the berries some TLC, so I'm not sure how I would be supposed to figure this out without looking in the forums, or consulting a guide.

How do I bring the berry bushes back to a healthy state?

Great question. There is no answer, only guessing and conjecture.

Fertilize it. Any fertilizer works. About one piece per year for the first four years will generally work well enough. Nutrient consumption falls off over time, so you won't have to keep fertilizing in long-term worlds. It's currently strictly optimal to only use one fertilizer type per bush, or two if you want to keep it in the "bountiful" state.

 

Update: with rc.3 now released, soil doesn't get downgraded, and it seems that medium fertility soil will get bushes to start off in the "healthy" state at 50% nutrients, greatly reducing the need to fertilize the bushes.
