Long Description
Fertilizer, the main parts of it are nitrogen and carbon, along with a slew of other nutrients that are good for plants. Many plants even make the soil it grows on nitrogen-rich while they live, and carbon-rich when they die and decay! Why must, in the renewable-resource mod of Treefarm, we use copper, iron, and stone to give our plants that extra boost in life? Enter Growable Fertilizer!
Growable Fertilizer adds a fertilizer tree (perhaps later to appear as a different plant?) that requires Treefarm fertilizer to be crafted (fertilizer + germling = fertilizer seed). This seed, once fully grown and harvested, yields raw fertilizer. Combine five of these in a chemical factory with one fertilizer and water to craft four fertilizer, and then cut your dependency on nonrenewable resources off for good! (In regards to fertilizing plants, that is)
I guess I should add some pictures to the main post? There wouldn't be much to show, just the trees growing and getting processed, but if that's what is wanted, then I'll get them up!
Also, if there should be any changes, let me know. Too much fertilizer for the ingredients? I can fix that, or anything else.
A single image added to the long description which shows a single MKI treefarm and processing setup, self-sustaining and self-fertilized!

Thank you for the praise!
As a sidenote to share here, after playing for a good while with this in game myself, it's definitely a slow process with MK1 farms. I can't keep up with my plastic needs using bioplastic. But somethings I possibly will change, since I realized I goofed up somewhere and did not allow the seeds to be hand-planted.
