14. Repeat this step until all three bottles with this label have 20 g of Mashed Banana Peelings inside.
15. Using the balance scale and a different small paper cup, measure out 20 g of cow manure and carefully pour the 20 g of cow manure down the funnel and into one of the soda bottles labeled Cow Manure + Vegetable Peelings + Mashed Banana Peelings. Throw the paper cup away.
16. Repeat this step until all three bottles with this label have 20 g of cow manure inside.
