A Scarecrow can be made by members with level 23 Farming. The scarecrow is placed in the flower patch as protection for sweetcorn planted in the nearby allotments. The scarecrow is used to complete one of the medium tasks in the Falador Achievement Diary.
It is constructed by using a 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. You are able to rake away the weeds without removing the scarecrow itself.
The individual components of a scarecrow are tradeable, but the fully assembled scarecrow is not.
Placing a scarecrow to protect your sweetcorn as it grows in the patch north of Port Sarim is a medium level task in the Falador Diary.
