Farming enables you to grow various resources that can be used in a number of other skills, such as Herb lore and Cooking, as well as providing you with a source of raw food.
All around the game world you will find special patches where you may plant seeds to grow crops. These are the Farming patches. When you have some seeds to grow, you can take them to a suitable Farming patch to plant them. After a while they will start to grow, and eventually you will have a patch of fully-grown crops ready to harvest. When you've harvested your crops, you'll be able to plant more seeds in the patch.
Each Farming patch is designed for a specific type of crop: herb patches are the place for growing herbs, flower patches are for growing flowers (including the useful limpwurt plant); allotments are for growing vegetables and crops such as tomatoes and strawberries.
Planting Crops
The simplest crops are grown by planting the seed directly into a suitable, empty Farming patch. You'll need to have a seed dibber to do this.
For crops such as vegetables and hops, you'll need to plant three or four seeds to get the crop growing. Herbs, flowers and bushes may be grown from only one seed. For example, to plant marigold seeds, use one seed on an empty flower patch; to plant potato seeds, use 3 seeds on an empty allotment.
Bigger plants, such as trees and fruit trees, cannot be planted directly as seeds. Instead you will need to plant them in a plant pot (you can buy these from the Farming shops or craft your own at a pottery wheel). Before you can plant a seed in your plant pot, you must fill the pot with soil by using it on an empty Farming patch; you'll need a gardening trowel to do this. Once you've planted the seed in the plant pot, just sprinkle some water on it from a watering can. It'll grow into a sapling after a few minutes, just leave it in your inventory or bank while you wait. When the saplings grown, players can use it on an empty tree patch or fruit tree patch to transplant the sapling into the patch. You'll need a spade to do this.
If a Farming patch is left unused, it will start to grow weeds. Before you can grow anything in the patch, you'll need to use a rake on it to clear away the weeds. Keep hold of the weeds you get and you'll find a use for them later!
Once your crops are growing, you'll have a while to wait before they are fully grown. Simple crops grow in about half an hour, but big trees can take hours or days. They'll grow even if you're not logged in, so you don't have to spend all that time standing by the patch! Keen farmers will often keep moving from one patch to another, checking on their crops and harvesting anything that becomes fully grown, then planting more crops and moving on to check another patch. Don't forget to carry teleport runes with you - it can be a long way between Farming patches!
Crops can sometimes become diseased while they're growing. When your crops become diseased, don't panic. For small plants, such as vegetables or herbs, you just need to pour a vial of plant cure over them, and they'll be restored to health immediately. If you don't cure your diseased plants, they'll eventually die. If you're unlucky enough to find some of your plants dead, just get a spade and dig up the patch.
There are plenty of ways to protect crops from disease. In the sections that follow, we'll look at all the various options.
Compost
When it comes to harvesting crops, those planted in a patch that has been treated with compost are less likely to become diseased, and should yield more produce. There are two ways in which you can obtain compost:
You can buy it from the Farming shops or gardeners at the patches.
You can make it yourself.
For someone new to Farming, it is probably best to make your own compost. This will increase your knowledge of Farming, as well as save you money.
To make compost
Compost is made in compost bins, which can be found near all the major vegetable patch areas. Most organic items can be put into the bins.
The following can be placed in compost bins to produce compost:
Weeds:
Barley, hammerstone hops, agrarian hops, jute plants, krandorian hops and wildblood hops.
All flowers:
Dwellberries, redberries and cadavaberries
Potatoes, cabbages, onions, tomatoes, strawberries and sweetcorn
Apples, bananas, oranges and curry
Alternatively, if you forget this list, you can just show the item to a gardener and they will tell you.
When the bin is completely full, close the lid, and then you can start the rotting process. You will not be able to open the lid until this rotting process is complete. Once the vegetation has become fully rotten, you can begin to fill any empty buckets you have with compost.
Super compost
Some organic items can be used to make super compost.
The following can be placed in compost bins to produce super compost:
All tree roots.
Pineapples, watermelons, coconuts and papayas
Bittercap mushrooms.
Poison ivy berries, jangerberries and whiteberries.
Avantoe, kwuarm, snapdragon, cadantine, lantadyme, dwarf weed, torstol and toadflax.
Super compost is used in the same way as normal compost, but is far more effective at preventing disease and increasing crop yields; though it is more difficult to make.
Fruits or vegetables used to make normal compost cannot be used to make super compost in the compost bins.
For example:
Adding 5 watermelons + 10 pineapples will give super compost
Adding 4 watermelons + 10 pineapples + 1 weed will give normal compost
You can also use the compost bins to make rotten tomatoes, just add tomatoes into the bin and close the lid. When they have completely rotted you will be able to open the lid and use them on unsuspecting players in the duel arena or pillory.
