I've just completed Throne to Miscellania and Royal Trouble (After 7 years of playing RS, finally! lol), I was reading up on some sites, and it looks like the best combo for money making is 10 workers on herbs and 5 on Woodcutting, just making sure that is the combination I should be using. Also, I planning to collect my items every week on a wednesday (to go with pengs, circus etc), is once a week a good time to collect? Finally, I'm going to be getting my reputation back up to 100% just before I collect, so every week, should I be doing this more often or is once a week fine?

It should be 10 in maples + 5 in herbs.

 

Um, once a week is fine - although if you do up your rep sometime during the week, profits will go up. Not significantly but everything helps.

Personally, I just rake the patches next to the bush patch once a day or once every two/three days if I don't remember.

Unlike the above poster, I think collecting, updating favour (and the kingdom coffers of course) once a week is perfect, as is 10herbs and 5 maples. Depends on preference tbh, herbs are more of a guaranteed profit; the profit from maples depends on the seeds so it can vary quite a bit. Profit will go up if you update it every day, but I really can't be bothered. Not enough to make it worth going there every day. (I think, although I don't actually know what the profit change would be like.)
