[[File:Supercompost detail.png|left|100px|A detailed image of supercompost.]] '''Supercompost''' is a more potent version of [[compost]] and is used in conjunction with the [[Farming]] skill. Supercompost reduces the chance of a player's crops becoming [[Disease (Farming)|diseased]] while growing (better than regular [[compost]] does), as well as increasing the minimum and maximum amount of produce from the crops. Up to 255 supercompost may be stored in a tool leprechaun.

To make supercompost, a player must place 15 suitable organic items (see below) into any of the [[compost bin]]s that are located next to the [[allotment]] patches found around ''[[RuneScape]]''. Once the suitable items have been added, and the lid of the compost bin closed, the contents will begin to rot, taking 90 minutes until completion. During this time the player will not be able to open the compost bin or add any more items. Supercompost has a green colour, while [[compost]] has a green-brown colour, when in the compost bin or [[bucket]].

Once the supercompost has finished rotting, the player may open the compost bin and extract all of the supercompost by using a [[bucket]] on it. Altogether one full bin will yield 15 buckets of supercompost. Each bucket of supercompost collected by the player will grant that player 8.5 Farming [[experience]]. When used on a farming patch, each bucket will grant an additional 26 experience.

''The following items have a significantly higher value and use than supercompost. As such it would not be economically sound to use them for it, although one could.''
* [[Morchella mushroom]]s, [[White berries]], [[Poison ivy berries]], [[Clean toadflax|Toadflax]], [[Clean avantoe|Avantoe]], [[Clean kwuarm|Kwuarm]], [[Clean snapdragon|Snapdragon]], [[Clean cadantine|Cadantine]], [[Clean lantadyme|Lantadyme]], [[Clean dwarf weed|Dwarf weed]], [[Clean torstol|Torstol]], [[Clean fellstalk|Fellstalk]], [[Papaya]]s.

==Quick supercompost==
*A quick and cheap way to get materials for making supercompost is by using [[pineapples]].
**Pineapples may be picked in the Brimhaven Jungle (directly south of the POH portal). Each plant in the [[Brimhaven]] Jungle yields 5 [[pineapples]] each, and the nearby [[Tool leprechaun|leprechauns]] can [[note]] pineapples, without the need for banking. The [[calquat fruit]] is nearby for easy harvesting. If you pick pineapples, come with at least 26 empty inventory spots (one for the notes and 25 for the pineapples). World hopping is highly recommended.
**[[Fruitfall scroll]]s for the [[Fruit bat]] can also be used to obtain pineapples among limes, papayas (every scroll), oranges, lemons and bananas.
**Players can get 40 noted pineapples every day from [[Dell Monti]] near the [[POH portal]] in [[Brimhaven]] after completing the easy [[Karamja Diary]].
**Players may purchase 40 pineapples per day from [[Arhein]], who is very close to the [[Catherby]] compost bin, for 2gp each.
**Finally pineapples may be purchased on the [[Grand Exchange]] for {{GEPrice|Pineapple}}gp each, but it is also worth considering [[Calquat fruit]] or [[Watermelon]] as alternatives, as they currently sell on the [[Grand Exchange]] for {{GEPrice|Calquat fruit}}gp each and {{GEprice|watermelon}} gp each respectively.
* Alternatively, [[compost potion]]s can be obtained from the [[Vinesweeper]] activity for 5,000 points, or at the [[Grand Exchange]]. These potions can be used on a compost bin, which turns the normal [[compost]] inside the bin into supercompost. This generates 15 buckets of supercompost. Compost potions have 4 doses, so a single potion can produce 60 buckets of supercompost.
