A gardening spray can is a water container used in farming.

Water storage

The gardening spray can hold up to 10 units of water.

Prior to build 41, it held 40 units of water – equal to the watering can, which has the highest water capacity in the game.

Farming

Main article: Farming

Pesticides

A gardening spray can is required to make pesticides.

Mildew Spray

Mildew causes plants to mature slower. Affected plants can be treated with mildew spray to counteract this. With a gardening spray can and milk (fresh or rotten) in the main inventory, right-click on either item to show the option to "Create Mildew Cure".

Insecticide Spray

Pest flies cause a growing plant to consume more water; affected plants will need considerably more water and attention. This can be cured by making an insecticide spray by placing a gardening spray can, five cigarettes and three units of water in your main inventory; right-click on an ingredient to show the option "Create Flies Cure".

Crafting

Making pesticides

Either the gardening trait or the farmer occupation is required to craft these items.

Distribution

Only empty gardening spray cans can be found in the world, inside garages, crates, sheds and rare chances of being found in a kitchen and in the bodies of former farmers who succumbed to the Knox infection. The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.
