Allotment patch
Allotments are farming patches that players can grow vegetables and fruits in with the Farming skill. Most allotment patches also have a compost bin, a tool leprechaun, a herb patch, and a flower patch very near by. Particularly at high Farming levels and with the use of high tiers of compost and magic secateurs, allotments yields can be exceptionally high.
Three allotment seeds are needed to plant in each allotment patch, though equipping an amulet of bounty gives a chance to consume only one. Allotments are the 2nd fastest growing type of crop, with a 10 minute farming cycle. Players can protect their allotments from disease by paying nearby farmers with the appropriate payment for each separate patch, or through having the corresponding flower fully grown in the nearby patch; flowers that protect allotments are specific to the seed planted, though the white lily protects all crop types in an allotment patch.
Players may also use varying types of compost to reduce disease chance, and can water their plants with a watering can at each growth stage to provide a modest reduction in disease chance.
Players may increase harvesting speed over the automatic rate, by harvesting, waiting 2 game ticks, and clicking again to harvest. This will harvest 2 crops per animation, effectively doubling harvest rate for the patch. The increased speed can also be achieved without any need for precise timing by spam-clicking during the first two ticks of harvesting.
