Under the Sea! =D Roll Tide

Quote:
1) After adding gravel (durr I did that for ya), fill your pot with the soil/compost mixture about 3/4 way full. Use your gloves here to put the soil IN the pot.

2) Water the soil completely but not enough that it becomes like mud. Use aguamenti here.

3) Create a hole about the size of your new plant in the fertilized pot. Gloves again, people, you're not getting off easy with any trowels.

4) Now go get a puffapod. Carefully, gripping the plant at the base of its stem, remove the puffapod from its old home. MAKE SURE YOU GET ALL ITS ROOTS (or as many as possible without damaging other plants around it). These plants don’t have many roots to begin with so BE CAREFUL!

5) Shake a little bit of excess dirt off, if there is any. Shake shake, shake shake a-shake it over the tub, please.

6) Carry the plant to its new pot and set it inside the hole you created, guesstimating to make sure there's enough room for all its roots. Make sure it doesn't sink (otherwise you'll need more dirt in the hole).

7) Retaining a hold on the plant being transplanted, gently massage its roots until they are loose and spread out in the hole you made.

8) Carefully fill in the space over the roots/around the base of the plant with more fresh, fertilized soil.

9) Pat the dirt up around the base of the plant because you don't want any exposed roots.

10) WATER the PLANT. Aguamenti again.

Nathaniel rolled up his sleeves,pushed his glasses up, and put on his gloves. This was going to be easy. He'd helped his grandmother plant stuff loads of times before. He bet that she'd love this puffapod. All of the PINK was starting to make him nauseous though. He took a deep breath as he filled the pot 3/4 full of compost. He pointed to the pot and muttered "Aguamenti". A stream of water shot out of is wand and onto the soil.Too bad he couldn't make if muddy. He dug a hole in the soil for the plant. Then he pulled the plant out of its current pot and shook the extra dirt off. Easy easy. He then put the plan in the pot and covered the roots and such with dirt and firmly patted it. Easy. Plant is planted and watered. he thought to himself as he watered the plant againNow for some fun he thought to himself. Nathaniel took off his gloves and grabbed some soil. He pointed his wand and it "Aguamenti". We grinned his evil little grin and THREW the mud on the Professors PINK boots. SPLAT all over her boots and nearby students. He poured more dirt onto his work station and muttered "Aguamenti" again and turned the soil into mud. He then started flinging it at everyone.
