Thank you, Zeke.

Yes, his soul and things, which is apparently what the flowers were for. For touching souls and things, ergo, she won. Zeke nodded, his smile easy and casual. Maggie's little curtsy thing though, was no only cute, but it caught him by surprise. With a slight head tilt, he returned the gesture with a small bow. Why did he do it? He didn't know... nor did he care.

But apparently learning and things were going to happen. Was there a limit on how many flowers he could hand out during the lesson? Could he just give them ALL to Maggie?


SPOILER!!: Myers

Sigh.



And time, once more, to move on!

“Now--if you will take a look at the blackboard--” He pointed, showing his notes.



“-You will see that these are some of the things we deem important to grow plants healthily. Very goooooood everyone! That was a bit basic, I know--but I thought it was an important starting point for where we are GOING--” He gestured at the table behind him, the one with all the smelly bins.

“Now, some of you mentioned nutrients--which is VERY important for plants, yes. All plants need a certain combination of them…” He thought about how to explain this. “How...some animals eat meat? And others only vegetation? Well plants are the same--but with nutrients. Sort of.” He hoped that made sense. “All plants need two main things--” he may have been simplifying it, slightly, for the sake of the lesson, but if ANYONE wanted to come talk seriously about the nutrient and vitamin intake of shrubs---by all means, Paul would find it endearing. “Carbon and nitrogen...are important. But different plants need carbon--and others need a LOT of nitrogen--” were they taking notes? They should be taking notes.

“SOOOOO---as you can SEE--” he pointed at the bins. “We will be……...COMPOSTING TODAY. All NATURAL compost! Which I LOVE--” he hopped a little in excitement. “Now--without looking in the bins---let’s THINK--what sort of materials can we use for composting? I’d like everyone to try to come up with something different, please!”

"Also---someone tell me--what is the difference between compost and fertilizer?"
OOC: There are SO many different things that can be composted-----so please try to keep the answers diverse! I will be moving on in....eh, 13-16 hours from now. <3


The second he said they weren't fertilisers, he knew they were compost things... but... wasn't compost and fertiliser the same thing?? He always thought it was. Like how the English language had a hundred words that all meant the same thing, or there about. As far as he was concerned, his answer was correct.

But... apparently they were different, so he was lost as to HOW that was the case. Instead, Zeke listened to everybody else suggestions as to what compost was, listing all sorts of degradable stuff. Hand up, he contributed his two knuts worth. "Biodegradable things, Sir, so like, anything that was once living." Yeah. How was that for a sensible answer?
