View source for Calculator:Farming/Supercompost

This calculator calculates the cost per bucket load for making [[supercompost]]. It assumes that the [[bucket]]s are recycled. It includes methods using compost potion (currently figuring {{#expr:(({{GEP|Compost potion (4)}}-{{GEP|vial}})/60) round 2}} coins per bucket, allowing for the sale of the empty vial), but not special purchases or growing from seed etc., as these represent opportunity costs of selling the component on the GE, as well as the work involved.

Excluded also are non-tradeable item like [[White tree fruit]] and [[Peach]], and the [[Compost mound]]'s special move (although this could be added).

------
Cost of using [[peach]]es for [[supercompost]] with [[bones to peaches]] spell tablets: the find the cost of using peaches for supercompost multipy 27,  (the amount of inventory spaces), by the cost of bones (currently 61 coins). Add the cost of a bones to peaches tablet to this (currently 661 coins), and divide the total by 27.  The current cost of using this method for [[supercompost]] is: 85 coins per [[peach]].
------

Notes:
#[[Weeds]] are often to be found lying around allotments (although a good gardener will grow very few of their own) and weeds fill the compost box faster.
#While you can't make compost with noted items, you can take [[empty sack|sacks]] of cabbages for example making them very convenient as well as cheap (unlike [[basket]]s of strawberries which are merely convenient).
#Items listed on the grand Exchange are sometimes "bought out" this is particularly the case with [[compost potion]]s.
#Compare these with the current cost ({{Coins|{{GEP|Supercompost}}}}) of buying Supercompost.
