Mulch comes in four different types: Growth, Damp, Stable, and Gooey.
{{Item
 
|name=Growth Mulch
===[[File:Bag Growth Mulch Sprite.png]] Growth Mulch===
|jp=?????
The Growth Mulch speeds up the growth time of a Berry, but will also cause the soil to dry out faster. This requires the {{player}} to return to that spot more frequently with the [[Sprayduck]]. When using the Growth Mulch, the time taken for the tree to mature will be 75% of the normal time. Growth Mulch costs {{pdollar}}200, and has 30 [[Power]] when accompanied with {{m|Fling}}.
|jpt=?????
 
|gen=IV
===[[File:Bag Damp Mulch Sprite.png]] Damp Mulch===
|bag=Items
The Damp Mulch slows the grow of Berries and causes the soil to dry slower. This reduces the amount of visits required to water the patch of soil. The tree maturation time is increased to 125% of the normal time taken. Damp Mulch costs {{pdollar}}200, and has 30 [[Power]] when accompanied with {{m|Fling}}.
|buyable=yes
 
|sell=100
===[[File:Bag Stable Mulch Sprite.png]] Stable Mulch===
|effect=Makes growth time of a [[berry]] plant 75% of usual, but causes soil to dry out faster.
The Stable Mulch extends the time ripened Berries remain on their plants before falling. This means that the {{player}} may wait slightly longer than usual to collect them once they have fruited, before they wither and die. The Berries will stay on the branch for 125% of their usual time<!--based on above data; don't shoot me if it's wrong-->. Stable Mulch costs {{pdollar}}200, and has 30 [[Power]] when accompanied with {{m|Fling}}.

===[[File:Bag Gooey Mulch Sprite.png]] Gooey Mulch===
|locdppt={{rt|208}} ([[Berry Master|Berry Master's House]])
The Gooey Mulch increases the number of times new plants grow where mature plants withered. This means that if the Berries are not collected before they fall off, they will resprout more often than usual, requiring the player to plant less Berries. The number of times this happens will be increased by 125% of the usual amount<!--another educated guess-->. Gooey Mulch costs {{pdollar}}200, and has 30 [[Power]] when accompanied with {{m|Fling}}.

Mulch (Japanese: こやし Fertilizer) is a type of item introduced in Generation IV. A mulch is essentially a fertilizer, which may be used before planting Berries in loamy soil. They promote healthy Berry growth, and have no use in battle aside from being thrown with Fling. 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...you know...".

Mulch may be bought from the girl in the Berry Master's house on Route 208 or in the flower shop in Goldenrod City.

Trivia

  • Because some Mulch causes Berries to grow at different rates, it is possible to cause some Berries with different 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" which is named to play on William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing".
