Planned for a members account. Compost: ultracompost. Only single-step recipes are suggested, and the route only switches when another action is at least 10% better. Huasca has no yield data on the wiki, so its xp assumes the smallest harvest.

Profit uses Grand Exchange prices from the OSRS Wiki, averaged over the last 24 hours. It assumes you buy materials and sell what you make straight away, paying the 2% GE tax. Each action is a whole patch, from planting to harvest. Profit counts the seed and any compost. Crops are assumed to grow without disease, and yields use the wiki's chance-to-save values, averaged as you level. Items with little trading are marked, since one trade can move their price.

Harvest lives and compost

Herbs, allotments and hops don't give a fixed amount. Each patch starts with three harvest lives, and every pick has a chance to save a life instead of using one up, so the patch keeps giving until its lives run out. Compost raises the starting lives to four, supercompost to five and ultracompost to six.

The chance to save a life depends on the crop and rises with your Farming level. Magic secateurs raise it by 10%, and the Farming cape adds another 5% for herbs. This calculator uses the wiki's chance-to-save values and averages them over the levels you'll gain, so each patch yields a little more as you train.

Where the XP comes from

Every crop gives XP when you plant it. Herbs, allotments and hops also give XP for each item you pick, so extra harvest lives mean more XP from each seed, not just more produce. Trees, fruit trees and other slow crops give most of their XP for checking their health once they're fully grown.

Spreading compost on a patch gives XP too: 18 for compost, 26 for supercompost and 36 for ultracompost, which the calculator adds to each patch.
