Zynga adds FarmVille Instant Grow per plot option, not exactly worth it

Think of it as ... reverse DDT. Yeah, that might help you forget about the chemicals in your digital food! Zynga has added an option to FarmVIlle (sans digital chemicals ... whatever that means) that allows players to apply Instant Grow to individual plots of farmland. FarmVille Freak found that, when you mouse over freshly planted plots, text appears reading, "Click to Apply Instant Grow." Doing so, if you have the item, will apply the effect to a single plot for a smaller amount of Farm Cash.

Here are the prices for applying Instant Grow to a single crop or tree, but keep in mind that they vary depending upon how ready the crops or plants in question are:

    Instant Grow Crop – 3 Farm Cash
    Instant Grow Tree – 7 Farm Cash


Now, this is the cost for a freshly planted or harvested crop or tree. However, the option to apply the effect to all crops and trees still exists for just 15 Farm Cash for each category. (Note: However, this is could easily be a bug in which the true switch has yet to take place for all players.) Just applying Instant Grow to five individual crops would cost the same as applying it to them all. In other words, this isn't really a good deal. If you're going to apply Instant Grow to a single crop, you may as well do it for the whole bunch.

Have you seen this feature appear in your game yet? Are you a fan of the Instant Grow, or would you rather play old-fashioned (i.e. not spend money)?
