The heapers

The heapers are a tribe of moochers who for a couple of generations have lived in the compost heap in the backyard of number four, Bean's tribe TH E1·00:06:11. Their whole world has been turned upside down, the watermelon temple where Bean trained is destroyed, and the mulch was lifted out of the heap and tossed to the winds TH E1·00:06:11. It takes everything in Bean's power to get enough food for himself and his community TH E1·00:06:11. Under the back deck they huddle covered in dust around Bean, who has returned with crackers, and Master Buttons, the head of the watermelon temple, praises him TH E1·01:03:23.

The heapers are the moochers of the compost heap, led by Master Buttons of the watermelon temple, and they have lost their home and the temple TH E1·00:06:11 TH E1·01:03:23. Master Buttons says that Moocher is what the stewards have always called them, and that Snow Pea and Raindrop were members of the Heap way back TH E3·01:22:39 TH E3·01:25:04. In TH_04 Car-Go's search finds a forged email on Felix's desk reminding everybody on Thimble Lane to mulch their compost heaps TH E4·01:50:40.

In TH_06 Bean says that his home was scooped up by a big bearded man and turned into fertilizer, and that Felix seems to have some control over him TH E6·00:17:04. Tony Manchego calls Bean a heaper when Bean asks if he knew about the heap being mulched TH E6·01:09:04 TH E6·01:09:12. In the epilogue the heapers move into a new heap made of the trash in Max's room, and Brennan says that Tik Teks and heapers live side by side TH E6·01:53:14 TH E6·01:56:56. A flag is placed on top of the watermelon in the old heap in memory of what once was there TH E6·01:56:56.
