Potato Mine

1) Probably one of the best strategic plant to use early in the game is Potato Mine. If your planning to invest more suns in your vault try not to buy expensive plants for an early defense. With its cheaper cost of 25 suns, Potato Mine is perfect and good enough to blow off those zombies mustache. When somebody touch the guy he get so annoyed and irritated that he wanted disappear. Well, I guess it’s better that way before the zombies strip his skin and shred his body into French fries.



2) Who can blame Potato Mine? I know the guy is slow on preparing for his detonating device, but won’t you give him a little consideration? He’s been stuck on the ground and you know it’s not easy to move in that situation. Why not planting him ahead of time? Probably, 4 to 5 columns away from its location to trigger his explosion at the right time.

3) In one interview, Potato Mine confessed his open hatred about the Pogo Zombies. He said, “One thing I hate about Pogo Zombies is that they are playing hard to get, although they are not that cute. They love to jump off over my head and never dare to touch me. I’m just lucky that my friend Magnet-Shroom pulls off their toys that they may not pass through me again without getting turned to ashes”.

Fast Sun Production During Early Game

Getting more suns early in the game is undoubtedly one of the best way to win the game easily. That is why it is advisable for everyone to at least plant two columns of Sunflowers or Sun-shrooms to produce more suns, especially those plants that need to be upgraded.

Unlike, night time there are no free stuff like Puff-shroom that can be used as an early defense during the day, so it is necessary for you to plant either of the not so tough but very cheap offensive plants like the Peashooter, Cabbage-pult and Kernel-pult. Usually, during the day, you can plant at least three Sunflowers before the very first enemy strikes and before he gets too close to your house you have to eliminate him.

When I first played the game I usually plant a Peashooter on every lane but I found out that you cannot plant Sunflowers fast enough by spending much on your defense. What I did was I planted a Potato Mine on a lane where a zombie is heading. This provide you more suns to plant Sunflowers while holding off the zombies from passing through. Aside from that, you are spending less with just 25 points (equivalent to 1 sun produced by Sunflower) for every Potato Mine.



1) The first enemy to strike.
2) Plant a Potato Mine on the lane as fast as possible to trigger its detonating device before the enemy gets any closer.
3) The sooner you plant the Potato Mine the better. The icon above your screen shows the duration of time when you can start planting another one.



1) Good thing Potato Mine does not take so long to recharge.
2) The second zombie is approaching.
3) If you have an upgraded Twin Sunflower, you can plant it as early as the second zombie shows himself.
4) From the time you planted your first Potato Mine, the number of Sunflowers that you can plant may already have doubled.



1) As much as 625 suns or even more may have been stored in your vault when the third and fourth zombies appeared.
2) As early as the third zombie appeared you may already upgraded 2 Sunflowers into Twin Sunflowers.
3) These Conehead Zombies are tough indeed. Their traffic cone helmet made them twice tougher than the normal ones. Good thing a Potato Mine can turn these guys into ashes in one blast. Planting a Peashooter at this short distance may only ends up a meal for these gluttons.

Within a very short time, probably when the third and fourth zombie appeared, you may already have two columns of Sunflowers in your lawn and huge amount of suns stored. After you have a stable number of Sunflowers to support the sun requirements for planting, then you can proceed on designing your lawn as you want it to be.
