Notes
This item is made by adding 15 organic items to a Compost bin and shutting the lid. Once it is closed, you will need to wait 30-50 minutes for the items to decompose into compost. Once the compost is ready, you can collect 15 from the bin with empty <a href="/database/item/bucket">Buckets</a> in your inventory.
<br/><br/>
It can also be made by using a <a href="/database/item/compost-mound-scroll-generate-compost">Generate compost scroll</a> on a <a href="/database/item/compost-mound-pouch">Compost mound</a> familiar when near a compost bin.
<br/><br/>
