The procedure in the third preparation step is as follows: After the beginning of autumn around Michaelmas, the ball-shaped packets are taken down and buried in the earth, at a depth marking the transition from the humus-rich topsoil to the subsoil richer in clay and fine sand. The pit is filled in again and, near the soil surface, covered with wire mesh to protect against dogs and foxes. Until the smell of the mesentery has dissipated by winter, a covering of wood or stone can serve the same purpose.
