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 approximately 80 minutes to fully grow. Each patch requires one seed to begin growing that herb type. A seed dibber is required to plant an herb seed, and a spade to harvest herbs.
Unlike allotments, there is no way to protect herbs from disease, unless using a disease-free patch. Players can check on the herbs regularly and apply plant cure if needed to save a diseased plant. It is highly recommended to use ultracompost on valuable herb crops, as it will greatly reduce the death risk and at least 6 herbs per seed will be obtained provided it doesn't die. Yield boosting equipment such as the magic secateurs is also highly beneficial to players.
