Herb patches are a type of patch used in the Farming skill to grow herbs. These herbs are then traditionally used to create potions with the herblore skill. Each patch requires at least one seed to begin the process of growing the specific herb type of the seed used. From planting to harvest the time taken is always 80 minutes.
Additionally, there is no way to provide full protection from disease like fruit tree patches and tree patches. However, plant cure can be applied to save diseased plants. Moreover, it is also recommended to use the magic secateurs when harvesting, to maximise your average yield.
