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 diseased while growing better than compost does, as well as increasing the minimum and maximum number of crops that will be received by the player upon harvest.

To make supercompost, a player must place 15 suitable organic items (see below) into any of the compost bins 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 approximately 40-50 minutes until completion. During this time the player will not be able to open the compost bin or add any more items.

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. 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.

Some suitable items are listed below, but if you are unsure, use the item on the farmer by the patch and they will tell you if it makes compost or supercompost.

Supercompostable items

 * All tree roots (obtained when a tree is dug up from a tree patch)

 * Herbs such as Avantoe, Cadantine, Dwarf weed, Kwuarm, Lantadyme, Snapdragon, Torstol and Toadflax
 * Jangerberries (respawn on ogre island west of Yanille)
 * Bittercap mushrooms (grow on mushroom patch in Canifis)

 * Pineapples (pick from Brimhaven, buy from Arhein in Catherby, grow in a fruit tree patch, or buy in Grand Tree first floor up)

Quick supercompost
A quick way to get materials for making supercompost is by using pineapples. Picked in the Brimhaven Jungle. Each plant in the Brimhaven Jungle yields 5 pineapples each. The Calquat is nearby for easy harvesting.

Alternatively, compost potions can be obtained from the Vinesweeper minigame for 5,000 points, or 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.

Coconut shells are the cheapest supercompost ingredient sold on the Grand Exchange.

The Fastest way to get Super Compost is to buy Pineapples from Arheim on the docks of Catherby, you can buy 40 per day, and use the whole pineapple on the Compost Bin. It takes 15 to fill the Bin.
