Rich Soil is a rare crafting material in Disney Dreamlight Valley. It is used to craft certain items and complete quests, making it an important resource to obtain. However, Rich Soil can be tricky to find since it only drops from harvesting crops. This guide will explain the best methods on how to get rich soil quickly in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
How to Get Rich Soil in Disney Dreamlight Valley
The only way to get Rich Soil is as a random drop when harvesting crops. It does not spawn naturally in the world for you to dig up. The drop rate is low, around a 5% chance per crop harvested. Certain actions do not increase the chances of getting Rich Soil:
- Having an animal companion with the Gardening role
- Using fertilizer
- Planting different crop types
The rate remains the same regardless. Patience and persistence are key to collecting a good amount of this rare material.

Farming Wheat for Fast Rich Soil
The most efficient way to farm Rich Soil is by planting and harvesting wheat repeatedly. Here's why:
- Wheat seeds are cheap at 1 star coin each from Goofy's stall
- Wheat fully grows in just 1 minute after watering
- Planting in the Peaceful Meadow biome allows fastest harvests
Buy several stacks of wheat seeds, then till plots and plant them in the meadows. After watering, harvest the wheat after a minute, replant, and repeat. With constant harvesting, you'll maximize the number of chances for Rich Soil drops.
Having an animal companion with the Gardening role can help harvest crops faster for more yield. Keep planting and harvesting wheat for as long as possible to increase your Rich Soil supply.

Recommended Plots and Yield
For best results, plant at least 200 wheat plots. Here is the expected yield:
- 100 plots = 3-5 Rich Soil
- 200 plots = 5-10 Rich Soil
- 300 plots = 10-15 Rich Soil
- 500 plots = 15-25 Rich Soil
It takes time but this method will produce the most Rich Soil compared to other crops. Avoid planting slow-growing crops like pumpkins. Stick to wheat for fast farming.
