Details

Farming grimy lantadyme can be a very profitable way to spend a few minutes at a time. However, it most profitable when all possible items to maximize the crop yield:

Magic secateurs from Fairy Tale I - Growing Pains, which boost yield 10%
Greenfingers aura, which boost yield 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% and 15% respectively.
Juju farming potion from Herblore Habitat, which give a 33% chance of picking double herbs, effectively increasing yield by 33%
Scroll of life, which gives a 10% of returning your seed after you've harvested it.

Without these items, herb farming is much less profitable. One could expect about 6.8 herbs per patch and a 10% death rate, but with all of the above, an average of 9.8 herbs per patch can be achieved, meaning 49 per run.

Start your run with 5 lantadyme seeds, 5 supercompost, transportation to get to all five patches and whatever yield-boosting items you have. At each location, harvest any available herbs, note them with the tool leprechaun, compost the patch, and plant a new seed.

Use the cabbage port option on your Explorer's ring to teleport to the patch south of Falador .
If you've completed My Arm's Big Adventure, Teleport to Trollheim and use the agility shortcuts to the west. Continue through an area filled with aggressive trolls and into the stronghold. Run south through the stronghold, to a door, and then north to a ladder. Climb it to get to the patch. The Livid Farm spell Teleport to Trollheim can also be used, but you must be on lunar spells.
Empty the Ectophial to Port Phasmatys and run west.
Teleport to Ardougne and run north-east, or use the Ardougne cloak teleport to get to the patch instantly.
Teleport to Camelot and run east until you reach the patch north of Catherby.

From start to finish, this process takes about five minutes, and the new seeds you planted can be checked in 80 minutes. You could sell your herbs after each run, or wait a while and sell them.
