{{Skill|Farming}} gains experience based on the number of items harvested, so using items like {{ItemIcon|Compost}} will increase gains by reducing the amount of crop failures. {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}} further increases the harvest per crop, yielding even more experience.
{{Skill|Farming}} gains experience based on the number of items harvested for [[Farming#Allotments_2|allotment]] and [[Farming#Herbs_2|herb]] patches, while [[Farming#Trees_2|trees]] grant a fixed amount of experience. Therefore, using items like {{ItemIcon|Compost}} will increase gains by reducing the amount of crop failures. {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}} further increases the harvest per crop, yielding even more experience from allotment and herb patches.


{{ItemIcon|Generous Harvest Potion IV|Generous Harvest Potions}} can be used to increase the size of the harvest, but cannot be created until later as it will require planting both {{ItemIcon|Snape Grass Seeds}} and {{ItemIcon|Carrot Seeds}}, as well as {{SkillReq|Herblore|74}} [[Herblore]].
The large amount of experience gained when harvesting trees is quite useful in the earlier levels. However, as the experience from trees does not scale with the number of logs harvested they become increasingly irrelevant in the later levels.


To gain a large amount of seeds it is possible to use {{Skill|Thieving}} with {{Icon|type=thieving|Bob the Farmer}}, {{Skill|Woodcutting}} with {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest Potion I|Bird Nest Potion}}, or {{Icon|Combat}} with {{Icon|Junior Farmer|type=monster}}, {{Icon|Adult Farmer|type=monster}}, and {{Icon|Master Farmer|type=monster}}. Other monsters may drop individual seeds at higher rates than these options, but at the start the goal is to collect a wide variety of seeds as fast as possible.

There are a number of methods that can be used to gain a large amount of seeds: {{Skill|Thieving}} with {{Icon|type=thieving|Bob the Farmer}}, {{Skill|Woodcutting}} with {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest Potion|img=Bird Nest Potion I}}, or {{Icon|Combat}} with {{MonsterIcon|Junior Farmer}}, {{MonsterIcon|Adult Farmer}}, and {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}}. Other monsters may drop individual seeds at higher rates than these options, but at the start the goal is to collect a wide variety of seeds as fast as possible.
