Naya paid attention as the professor gave the next steps for the activity. She made sure to write everything down again because that was definitely helping her. For the next step, they had a choice of adding tea bags or coffee to their compost. She chose tea and went to get four tea bags as instructed. After adding the tea bags to her bottle, Naya had a thought. She definitely preferred the smell of tea to that of coffee. However, if masking the poop smell was the goal, maybe she should have gone with the stronger smelling coffee. Oh well, it was too late now.

Checking her notes, Naya then added a thin layer of vegetable peels on top of her tea bags. Next came the thin layer of soil, followed by some shredded newspaper. Forgetting what came next, Naya had to check her notes again. More soil was needed, so she added that next. Naya continued the pattern until she was 1cm away from the hinge, more or less. Why oh why couldn’t they just stop there? Sadly, they could not and the Gryffindor went for the poo. After adding the dreaded manure, she went to get a spray bottle. Then it was three sprays of water, just enough to fire up the stinky smell. Was that it? Were there more steps? Naya checked her notes yet agin. Apparently that was it for now.
