- Weeds will grow in any patch that does not have anything else growing in it, even if the soil has been treated with compost or supercompost.
Players can harvest them by using a rake on a Farming patch that has weeds growing in it. Doing so will yield up to three weeds per patch, giving 4 Farming experience each.
A fast way to obtain weed is by raking the flax patch in Miscellania, however, you can only do this until the player popularity reaches 100%. (You can kill citizens to lower it again).
The only use for weeds is to make compost. Players can put up to 15 weeds at a time into a Compost Bin, close the lid, and leave the contents to rot. This will take around an hour, after which they can then open the lid and retrieve their compost. Weeds are the fastest item to make compost with, because when you use a weed on the compost bin, it will put all 15 weeds at once. (Note: this doesn't change the time it takes for it to turn into compost).
Use a bucket on the compost bin to fill all the empty buckets in the inventory with compost, up to a maximum of 15.
[edit] Trivia
- Some players were banned for saying "Buying Weed" in situations where they had a good reason to do so, and Jagex mistook it for the drug itself, which is against the rules of RuneScape to mention. However, through several appeals and complaints, Jagex unbanned most of these accounts during the Wilderness update of 2007.
