At the moment he had finished making the layers in the crate, Adi looked up to see Polly flashing him a thumbs up. Awwh, had she been watching to ensure he had done everything correctly? So nice of her! He returned the thumbs up with a grin of appreciation before turning his attention to the task at hand.

Right. So, two of his four layers had a tiny amount water added by a watering can earlier (he had used a watering can for this since both Polly and Myers- his Herbology idols hehe- preferred to use that). Which were the layers that had been wet? The very first layer and the second to last one.

But now came the manure! Wrinkling his nose and holding his breath again, the Hufflepuff scooped the thing up with his gloved had carefully dumped it onto the topmost layer. Now for more water! Adi tilted the can and allowed just a trickle of water to escape.

That part of the activity was complete now. Woot!
