Simply, I made this guide to help those of you who haven’t yet worked out this new skill.
Items needed
About 5000 gp
Seeds for plant you are growing
Correct Herb and flower seeds
Rake
Spade
Buckets
Gardening trowel
Seed dibber
Watering can [ Watering can (8) to start with ]
Law runes
Air staff (Weilded)
Water runes
Earth runes
Farming Patches
(These are just a few; and may not be all correct - as I have just wrote them off of memory).
South of Falador- Veg (Herb + Flower)
Falador garden - Tree patch
Taverly (Near druids) - Tree patch
North of Ardounge - Veg (Herb + Flower)
South of Ardounge (North of fight arena) - Bush patch
Yannile - Hops patch
Port Sarim - Spirit tree patch (Don’t worry about this until you are a uber farmer ;))
South of Varock - Hops patch
Next to Varock castle - Tree patch
West of Lumbridge - Tree patch
Camelot - Hops patch
First of all, if you are planning on raising your farming fast; you need to take in account two things:
Don’t let your plants/trees/bushes/what ever die
You will need to do alot of running around - So high magic for teleporting is recommended
Basics
You need to find the correct patch for the seed you wish to plant (I’ve listed a few above); then you need to prepare your patch.
Preparing your patches includes:
1) Raking the weeds
2) Adding the compost
3) Watering the land
Once you have prepared your patch you can plant your seed, make sure you have a Gardening Trowel in your inventory to do so, then click on the seed you wish to plant and select the patch which you have prepared.
Corresponding flowers
You can plant flowers in your garden (Veg garden) to protect your vegetables etc-
Marigolds - Protects Onions, tomatoes and potatoes
Rosemary - Protects only cabbages
Naturtiums - Protects watermelons
Scarecrows
Note: The only way to protect sweet corn is to make a scarecrow, this is done by:
Get an empty sack and fill it with straw (You can buy sacks from farming shops)
Use the sack which is full of straw with a spear (Use a cheap spear Eg. Bronze)
Then use a watermelon with the half-built scarecrow
- To place it just use it with an empty flower patch ;]
Problems
Like most skills, as in this one; there is a chance somthing can go wrong.
Your plants,bushes etc can become diseased-
To cure this simply add Plant cure (buy it from farming shops).
- If it is a bush, use secatuers on the bush and it will cut off the bad parts.
Harvesting
Finally you will need to harvest your crop, to do so get a sack/basket (sack = veg, basket = fruit) and just click harvest, when you run out of inventory space right click the basket/sack and choose Fill.
Fast Farming
The fastest way to farm is to harvest and then plant your seeds, then quickly teleport to a close by spot near your next patch- This is the best thing to do if you are planning on getting farming exp fast.
Edit - I hope this helps, it may not be all correct - So post your comments etc and correct me if im' wrong on any thing.. Thanks -Nets.
