Sophie scrawled a few notes down about what was written on the board, you could never have enough notes you know! She took in her surrounding and watched Professor use straw himself, and she decided to as well. He was the expert, after all. Sophie wandered over and grabbed a large amount to add on top of her soil. Once back at her station, she laid it in a messy pile on top.

Staring at her own beginnings of compost, mind you it was just soil and straw for now, she wondered. What were they going to plant? That was really the determining factor in what she would put in her compost. "Professor, will we have a choice in what to plant? I don't want to use say, cow manure, when knal is better for fruits and flowers." She awaited the Professors answer before confirming her choices.
