Hops patch

Hops patches are used to grow different hops with the Farming skill, which are useful in brewing different types of ales with the Cooking skill. 4 hop seeds (or only 3 jute seeds) are required to plant a type of hops. Players can pay a nearby farmer to eliminate disease risk altogether, or alternatively use various types of compost and water the patch to reduce (but not eliminate) the chance of disease.

Harvesting a plant grown in the hops patch tends to result in a relatively high yield, similar to most produce grown in allotments (see variable crop yield). At level 99, using both ultracompost and a pair of magic secateurs, a hops patch can be expected to yield 27 crops on average. After a hops patch has been harvested, the patch has to be re-planted. Hops on average give less experience in planting and harvesting than allotments. Hop plants are generally more susceptible to disease than herbs, although they are more hardy than crops grown in an allotment patch.^[1] Hops patches do not have a compost bin nearby but do have a Tool Leprechaun.

Hop seeds are commonly used as bait while engaging in bird house trapping, due to their low cost and ease of acquisition (for a table comparing them by cost, see Bird house trapping § Seeds).

^ Each sack or basket must be fully filled with produce to serve as protection payment (i.e. 10 produce for sacks, and 5 for baskets).
^ N×10 mins means the crop will grow a little and can be watered again for each 10 minutes. This happens N times until it is fully grown.
^ The experience awarded once at the start when planting the crop.
^ The experience awarded for each hop harvested. The expected yield depends on Farming level and equipment. See Variable crop yield.
