Obtaining Garden Weed and Ingredients
Where to Find Garden Weed
Garden weed grows in various locations such as around Catherby, near the Tree Gnome Stronghold entrance, and in the farming patches themselves. Checking these spots regularly helps maintain a steady supply of this key ingredient.
Securing Eggs and Flour
Eggs can be bought from farming shops, collected from chickens, or obtained as drops. Flour is produced at windmills, bought from the Grand Exchange, or taken from various shop stalls. Combining these with garden weed at the right cooking level ensures consistent pie output.
Cooking Garden Pie Efficiently
Cooking garden pie on a range minimizes burn chances and speeds up production. Using a portable range provides additional flexibility, especially when moving between farming plots. Monitoring your cooking level and staying near banking spots reduces wasted ingredients and optimizes gains.
Using Garden Pie in Farming Patches
Applying the Pie to Herb Patches
Right-click a garden pie on an herb patch to apply it, increasing the yield of the next harvest. This bonus is especially valuable when growing high-value herbs used in potion making.
Benefits for Flower Patches
Flower patches also benefit from the +7 yield boost, improving drop rates for flowers used in farming runs and sale. Treating these patches with pie before compost or supercompost further strengthens growth potential.
Maximizing Garden Pie in Your Farming Routine
- Secure a steady supply of garden weed from designated spawn areas
- Maintain sufficient cooking level or use portable ranges to lower burn rate
- Combine garden pie with compost and fertilizers for stronger patch results
- Prioritize herb patches that benefit most from the +7 yield increase
- Track patch cycles to align pie usage with high-value herb growth periods
FAQ
Reader questions
Does using a garden pie guarantee a higher herb yield every time?
It increases the yield by 7 for the next harvest, but natural patch conditions and other boosts can still affect the final amount you receive.
Can I use garden pie together with supercompost on the same patch?
Yes, applying garden pie before using supercompost combines their effects, giving both a yield boost and improved compost quality.
Is garden pie better than regular food for farming training runs?
For farming-focused activities, garden pie provides both sustenance and a direct farming bonus, making it more efficient than standard food during patch work.
What is the burn rate for garden pies at lower cooking levels?
Burn chance is significant below level 38 cooking, so using a portable range or higher-level cooking spots reduces waste and stabilizes supply.
