'''Torstol seeds''' can be planted in a [[Farming/Patch locations#Allotment/Flower/Herb_patches|herb patch]] in order to produce [[grimy torstol]]s. This requires a [[Farming]] level of 85.

A nearby gardener will '''not''' watch over your growing torstol.

Torstol seeds can be obtained as a rare monster drop (see below), by looting a [[nature impling]], by pickpocketing [[Master Farmer]]s, or bought from the [[Vinesweeper]] [[minigame]] for 45000 points each.

Planting torstol seeds can be profitable, so therefore players are advised to make sure that the herbs do not die. [[Supercompost]] (or [[Fertile Soil]] spell) is strongly recommended, as this is the best way of reducing the chance of your herbs from becoming diseased, as it is not possible to water the patch or ask a farmer to tend the herbs.

Some players only grow Torstol in the [[Herb_patch#Quest_patches|disease-free herb patch]] on the [[Troll Stronghold (area)|Troll Stronghold]] 'roof' (unlocked after [[My Arm's Big Adventure]]) and fill the other herb patches with less expensive herbs to minimise potential losses. Using a [[Juju farming potion]] can also be useful to maximise the number of herbs harvested.

The following table shows the profit yield, assuming all the herbs and seeds are purchased/sold at the [[Grand Exchange]] for the guide price. If the herb dies, you will lose {{Coins|{{#expr:0 - {{GEP|Torstol seed}}}}}} coins.

==Market==
Torstol seeds have increased in price significantly in the [[Grand Exchange]] since the [[Update:High-level Herblore Potions|Herblore Update in October 2009]] due to Torstol's use in making [[Overload]] potions.
Torstol seeds currently cost {{GEPrice|Torstol seed}}, whereas in September 2009, Torstol seeds were worth about 17k each. In the same time frame, [[clean torstol|Clean Torstol]] weeds have increased in price from about 3k each to {{GEPrice|Clean torstol}} each.

Farming Torstol has become more profitable than it used to be, but at the same time, risky, since herb crops can always die and the seeds have a high cost. The possible profit, however, had grown near [[Snapdragon seed|Snapdragons]] and even surpassed it.
