How do i farm against 2 bots in customs?

When I try to play customs to practice farming i have always wondered how to farm against 2 bots. If i am by myself the bots go agressive and zone me making it harder to farm as they out damage me. now im not saying that 1v2ing bots is hard, in fact its quite easy to get a double kill from as early as lvl 4 on most champs. but I want to know how to play against them without killing them so the pressure when i farm is higher. meaning more skills to dodge etc. There is a table that I have been following but I get suck when there is two bots, because i can't push lane or freeze it well. I feel like i have most mechanics down but my cs is quite lack luster on more than one occasion, making me feel slightly under powered unless the enemy laner dies multiple times. So if someone could give tips on how to do this for both ranged, and melee champs much appreciation would be given. ^_^ heres a direct link to the photo---> http://i.imgur.com/U0PCCY1.png

It's quite hard to practice in custom bots games because bots don't play like normal players, they prioritize attacking champions if in range. I actually just tried doing a practice game with 9 bots last night but you can't chose their lanes, can't prevent them from attacking minions, and all they want to do is fight.

I'd suggest maybe facing just 1 bot, and/or setting them to beginner so they are less aggressive.

It's called zone control, or spacing. This means knowing where the enemy laners are, what that means in relation to where you are, and the details of their kit.

Pre 6 against a malphite for instance, almost all of his damage is in melee range, but his Q outranges all non-modified attack ranges besides Cait. Malphite, however, has a pitiful mana pool, so forcing him to use Q to attempt to reach you without letting him have a full trade will generally result in him running out of mana, allowing you to farm safely. You won't always be able to avoid damage in a lane, but you need to know what you can get by with not avoiding, and what will get you killed. Getting an entire wave for an auto or low threat spell's worth of damage? Definitely worth it. For one or two? Definitely not. Sitting out of their spell range, and only moving in to last hit is a point big enough worth mentioning on it's own.

For melees, the same rules apply, but you're at a much larger disadvantage against ranged champions, and having melee auto attacks makes it harder to dart in and out to get cs. For both types, opting for a higher sustain start in a harass heavy lane is completely fine.
