Boxing in your Avatar

I figured the first post to this blog should also contain a rather well known tip. Why? Because like all new Farmville players this idea blog should start off as a new user, with new user idea's! In a nutshell this tip deals with boxing in your Avatar. Why would you want to do this?

Well, boxing in that avatar will keep him from being able to walk around your farm. This will allow you to harvest your crops VERY quickly. In fact you could say it is instant harvesting, plowing and seeding. As a bonus when your friends come to fertilize your crops and feed your chickens they wont have to wait while your character walks around, the actions will be instant and they will be free to move on to the next farm. This will benefit you as your friends will want to come and help since it goes so quickly.


Now there are a nearly limitless ways you can box him (or her) in. The easiest way is with some bales of hay like this;

 Now using just bales of hay you can of course keep a large field to plant with. But as you get more and more decorations you may want to consider something a bit more ornate such as this;

Here you can see a little more time was spent and the result is quite pleasing, a small area in the middle of the farm has been hollowed out and sectioned off using the green hedge decoration. Along with some flags and flowers to add to the effect. You can expand this out as far as you want.  Just remember to totally enclose your Farmville avatar in his area, cutting her (or him!) off from the rest of the farm. Another thing to watch out for is expansions.

Your character will load in the VERY CENTER of your farm, as such when you expand they will start loading 2 places lower than they used to. Because of this it may be better to create a larger area to start with so your not moving hay bales every time you expand.
