Herb patch

Herb patches are Farming patches in which players can grow herbs. Herbs are primarily used in the Herblore skill. Most herb patches also have a compost bin, a tool leprechaun, an allotment and a flower patch nearby. All herbs take 80 minutes to grow before you can harvest them. Each patch requires one seed to begin growing that herb type.

There are herb patches in the following locations:

• South of Falador (10% increased xp after Medium Falador diary)
• West of Port Phasmatys
• Ardougne Farm (north of East Ardougne)
• North of Catherby (5, 10 and 15% extra yield with medium, hard and elite Kandarin Diary)
• A disease-free patch in Trollheim (upon completion of My Arm's Big Adventure)
• Hosidius House near Xeric's Glade teleport (disease free with 50% Hosidius favour, 5% extra yield with hard Kourend & Kebos Diary)
• Harmony Island (upon completion of the Elite Morytania Diary)
• A disease-free patch in Weiss (upon completion of Making Friends with My Arm)
• Tier 2 of the Farming Guild (requires 65 farming, 5% extra yield with hard Kourend & Kebos Diary)
