Unlimited Money
Once you have the Zen Garden, water the plants until they don't need anything
else. After that, change the Date on your PC to another day. As soon as you do,
the plants will need water again. Repeat this -- buy new plants, grow them to
full size, sell and repeat to earn money.
This also works to get Marigolds in Crazy Dave's shop when they are out of
stock. You can fill up your Zen Garden and make all the money you need. You
don't even have to close out of the game.
Play Slot Machine for Extra Coins and Diamonds:
1) Set up your defenses around the slot machine. Try for one row of wallnuts on
the right side, one or two rows of sunflowers on the left, and fill everything
else with pea and snow pea shooters.
2) Protect the lawn mowers. Each are worth a Gold Coin at the end of the game,
so don't let them mow the zombies.
3) Stop collecting sun around 1900 sun points. At this point, the garden should
be full, so getting the extra 100 points to win should be easy. Just collect
enough sun to offset the slot machine.
4) Keep the slot machine spinning! It will randomly drop one or three gems as
long the patience lasts.
5) If the Zombies get close to the mowers, end the game. Just collect the sun
lying on the field to end the game.
Milking Walnut Bowling for coins
Here's how to make Walnut Bowling more profitable:
1) Protect the Lawnmowers -- Each Mower is worth one gold coin ($250).
2) Line up shots off the front runner. After the first zombie is hit, each
additional zombie strike generates coins.
3) Create a front runner where none exists! Pole vaulting zombies run fast until
they vault over a nut, and the newspaper zombie runs fast after getting the
paper destroyed by a nut. Just let them run a little bit down the lawn before
sending a nut their way.
4) Just because you have nuts does not mean you have to use them. This is where
"Nerves of Steel" comes into play. When there are a few zombies ambling down the
lawn without a clear ricochet shot, wait a little bit to see if more of their
friends will step out to play. They can always be killed once they cross the red
line.
5) Remember how many nuts it takes to kill a zombie; this is important when the
cross the red line. Use one nut for regular zombies, three for bucket wearing
zombies, and two for the rest.
6) Reserve the exploding nuts. Try not to use those nuts unless a mob crosses
the line, or there are not enough nuts or room to clear out a hard to kill
zombie. Use the regular walnuts for the zombies that have not reached the red
line.
7) Don't use exploding nuts to kill pole vaulting zombies directly. Pole
vaulting zombies only jump obstacles in their own lane. A pole vaulting zombie
who has not vaulted yet will safely jump over explosions or nuts in their own
lane; so find a neighbor in the next lane and time the nut to hit when the pole
vaulting zombie gets close to the neighbor.

have to do is exit the game and restart it and the 3 cards will be changed to
something else.
