Compost Bin

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

A Compost Bin is an immovable container where weeds, crops, herbs, fruits and other Farming skill products are placed to make compost, supercompost, or rotten tomatoes. Compost Bins are located with allotment patches, for example in Catherby and south of Falador.It's only for members

Players need 15 items to fill the Compost Bin, which they can then close to start the rotting process. This takes approximately one hour.

Players must use 15 supercompost-compatible items in the compost bin to make supercompost - even one incompatible item will make the whole contents into regular compost. This is the same when making rotten tomatoes. A message will pop up warning the player if they choose to impurify their compost bin.

[edit] Products of rotting

• Supercompost, made by rotting high level farming products (see below) - pineapples are commonly used when making supercompost
