Herb Patch Guide

Herb patches in OSRS refer to specific areas where players can grow herbs for use in creating potions and other purposes. These patches are located in various places throughout the game and are essential to the Farming Skill, providing resources and experience to those who tend to them properly. Each herb variety takes approximately 80 minutes to reach full maturity. Starting the growth process for a specific herb in each patch requires the use of a single seed. Using a seed dibber is necessary for planting the herb seed, and when it's time to harvest the herbs, a spade will be required.

In contrast to allotments, safeguarding herbs from disease isn't possible, unless utilizing a disease-free patch. Regularly checking on the herbs and applying a plant cure, if necessary, can rescue a diseased plant. To maximize yields, it's strongly recommended to employ ultracompost for valuable herb crops. This significantly reduces the risk of plant death and ensures a harvest of at least 6 herbs per seed, provided the plant survives. Yield-boosting equipment like magic secateurs also offer substantial benefits to players.
