Farming Shops
The tools that are needed to begin farming can be bought from both Farming shops and farmers, which can be found all over the world. You also have the option to trade with other players for Farming equipment.
Farming Shops can be identified using the Farming shop icon on both the world map and the in-game minimaps.
There are four Farming shops found throughout RuneScape:

Baskets and Sacks
Baskets and sacks are useful because they allow you to carry many items in one inventory slot. The baskets and sacks are mainly used to hold the produce used as payment to the gardeners.
Baskets and sacks cannot hold all items grown from Farming. Baskets can store up to five items and can hold apples, oranges, tomatoes, strawberries or bananas. While sacks can store up to ten items and can hold potatoes, onions or cabbages.
As mentioned in the table above, these two items can be player-made. This can be done using the Weaving skill.
The Gardening Leprechaun
Gardening leprechauns can be found wandering around the Farming patches of RuneScape. They look after various Farming tools for you and will not charge anything, so you will find that your Farming equipment is more accessible to you. So, if you are just passing a patch with a couple of seeds, you have all the equipment ready to start Farming.
If you store items with one leprechaun you are able to retrieve them from any other leprechaun within the game.
Leprechauns are also able to convert any of your Farming produce into notes, enabling you to carry much more to the bank without having to make multiple trips. To convert your produce, simply use it on the leprechaun.
The farming leprechaun of the Herblore Habitat is also able to store your 3-dose juju potions. He can take 30 of each type of juju potion.
