First off, ew. That was the only word that kept repeating in Brooklyn’s head as they’d moved on to the next step of the activity. Especially because Professor Myers seemed awfully excited over manure. She didn’t particularly care how common it was, and she most certainly wasn’t planning on actually testing the theory that he seemed like he was suggesting. The manures he’d collected were disgusting enough. She wasn’t even going to consider anything else. Although she was definitely going for the twigs first. At least that seemed safe. And sturdy. Straw could get all wet and icky if they were going to be putting more stuff on top of it.

Going over to the twigs, she gathered a good amount. At least a few handfuls, enough to cover the soil rather liberally. It also gave her time to stall in getting the icky stuff, and she was definitely going to follow Dot’s lead. Except she just took her gloves off long enough to pull the collar of her sweater over her mouth and nose before the gloves went back on securely. That ought to be better at masking stinkiness. She wasn’t planning on vomiting any time soon, no matter what was said about how everyone did that. Or whatever was said about how that could be good composting materials. There was not going to be any vomit on her part.

Heading over to the buckets, she took one to get the manure first. Get that over with before she had to think about it, and she went straight for the knarl manure. Just because she’d much rather deal with flowers over shrubs or anything else. She didn’t need a shrub. She’d hoped it would be less smelly, but no such luck. She escaped from the manure buckets as quickly as possible, her little bucket maybe half full and dropped by her crate before she fled back to the empty buckets. At least she hoped that the other things would be a bit better, but not really as she approached the moist materials. Still pretty disgusting, but she went for the orange peels. People used those to make things smell orangey. She knew that much, and orange smelled better than manure. The bucket of orange peels got dropped off with her crate and the bucket of knarl manure, and she went back for dry materials.

Grabbing two more buckets, she headed back over to the dry materials. At least those smelled a little bit better, and she filled one bucket with flowers and the other with tea bags. She thought those would mix with the orange peels anyway. Nothing really mixed with manure, but she was going to work with what she had. Either way, she tried to stay as far from her little bucket of manure as possible once she returned to her crate. She was still determined not to even look at all like she wanted to vomit.
