'''Compost''' is an item used most commonly with the [[Farming]] skill. While not as effective as [[supercompost]], it reduces the chance of a player's crops becoming [[Disease (Farming)|diseased]] while growing throughout the plant cycle, as well as increasing the minimum and maximum number of crops that will be received by the player upon harvest. Compost is the tertiary ingredient in infusing [[Compost Mound]] pouches. It is also an ingredient in [[Mud Pies]]. Up to 255 compost may be stored in a tool leprechaun.

To apply compost, use it on an empty and weeded [[Farming/Patch locations|farming patch]] before planting a [[seed]] or [[sapling]]. It can be used on all [[Farming/Patch locations|farming patches]] except the [[Evil turnip seed|evil turnip patch]]. It can also be used before treating a patch with [[supercompost]]. Treating a [[Farming/Patch locations|farming patch]] with both compost and [[supercompost]] does not seem improve your chances of having healthy crops nor does it seem to improve your chances of receiving more of them, although it does provide [[experience]] for applying both.

To make compost, a player must place 15 [[weeds]], vegetables (not [[tomatoes]] unless you put one weed in beforehand), [[herb]]s, or another grown item ([[Fever grass]], [[Primweed]], [[Stinkbloom]], [[Tansymum]], [[Leaves]], or [[Lavender]]) into any of the [[compost bin]]s that are located next to the allotment patches found around RuneScape. A player can use tomatoes, as long as at least one other suitable item is used in the bin. A player may use a grown item on a [[G.A.G.|farmer]] to be told if it is suitable for compost, [[supercompost]], or neither.

Once the suitable items have been added and the lid of the [[compost bin]] closed, the contents will begin to rot, taking approximately 35–50 minutes until completion. During this time the player will not be able to open the [[compost bin]] to add more items.

Once the compost has finished rotting, the player may open the [[compost bin]] and extract all of the compost by using a [[bucket]] on it. Each bucket of compost collected by the player will grant 4.5 [[Farming]] experience. When used on a [[Farming/Patch locations|farming patches]], each bucket will grant an additional 18 experience.

Alternatively, players may create compost by using the [[Generate Compost]] [[special move]] of a [[Compost Mound]] on an empty [[compost bin]] or by using a [[bucket]] directly on the [[Compost Mound]]. It can also be purchased from a [[Farming Shop]] or from one of the [[G.A.G.|Group of Advanced Gardener (G.A.G.)]] farmers that overlook [[Farming/Patch locations|farming patches]] or from the [[Grand Exchange]].

A [[G.A.G.]] farmer will watch over a [[Farming/Patch locations|farming patch]] planted with [[potato]]es for 2 Compost. A G.A.G. Farmer will look over growing [[Barley seed]]s for 3 buckets of compost. Tomatoes turn into [[Rotten tomato]]es in a Compost Bin.
