[[File:Scarecrow detail.png|left|100px]] A '''Scarecrow''' can be made by [[members]] with level 23 [[Farming]]. Each scarecrow made grants 25 XP. The scarecrow is placed in the flower patch as protection for [[sweetcorn]] planted in the nearby [[allotment]]s. The scarecrow is used to complete one of the medium [[Falador Tasks]].

==Construction==

* [[Empty sack]]
* [[Hay bale]] or [[haystack]]
* [[Bronze spear]]
* [[Watermelon]]

It is constructed by using an [[empty sack]] on a [[hay bale]] or a [[haystack]] to make a [[hay sack]]. A [[bronze spear]] is then used on the hay sack, and finally the spear with a [[watermelon]].

With the scarecrow in the inventory, it is used on the flower patch to place it. Note that weeds will grow up around the scarecrow, which does not affect the scarecrow's ability to protect sweetcorn from disease. To remove, a [[spade]] is used on the flower patch, which returns the scarecrow to the inventory, alternatively use the right-click 'Clear' option.

==Trivia==
*Attempting to use a non-bronze spear on the sack gives the message, "Waste this spear on a scarecrow? I think not - maybe I should find a bronze spear instead."
*If you check the protection costs in the farming guide it says "Unsurprisingly, scarecrows don't need protection."
