All the area around the pagoda as well as the other areas in front of the upper house patio. The holes should contain all the compost and they must be properly closed with soil. \ This is a daily activity (when there are few people on site can be performed every two days). It requires at least 15 minutes total and 2 people - the process consist in individuating the place, digging the hole, filling it in, covering it, cleaning the bucket properly, and putting back the bucket in the kitchen. You can clean the bucket using the water pump placed in front of the secondary entrance of the upper house (the one using the door of the laundry). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
