Budidaya Ikan dan Sayur Dalam Ember | BUDIKDAMBER #001

Summary

In this video, the creator shares insights into 'budikdamber'—a fish farming method using buckets, introduced in Indonesia in 2015. The technique integrates aquaponics, combining fish farming with vegetable growing, where plants benefit from the nutrients produced by fish waste. The speaker answers various questions from a Facebook group, such as the ideal number of fish per bucket, suitable plants for cultivation, the cost of the buckets, and why they prefer buckets over larger tarpaulin ponds. They also express gratitude for government support and invite further learning from the community.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video starts with a greeting and a thank you to viewers for their support and encourages new viewers to subscribe and turn on notifications.
• 😀 The presenter introduces the concept of 'budikdamber' (fish farming in buckets) and shows a setup of 33 buckets with fish and plants.
• 😀 The idea of combining fish farming with vegetable planting, called 'aquaponics', is explained, where fish waste serves as plant fertilizer.
• 😀 A brief history of budikdamber is shared, mentioning that it was introduced in Indonesia in 2015 by Juli Nursandi, a professor of fisheries.
• 😀 Aquaponics is differentiated from hydroponics: aquaponics uses fish waste as plant nutrition, while hydroponics uses manually added nutrients.
• 😀 The first viewer question asks about the number of fish per bucket, to which the answer is 1 fish per liter of water, with the presenter using 60-liter buckets and estimating 50 fish per bucket.
• 😀 Common plants grown with fish in budikdamber setups are water spinach (kangkung) and mint, which are hardy and easy to grow in water.
• 😀 The presenter shares the cost of the buckets, with prices ranging from IDR 55,000 to IDR 58,000, depending on the color, and discusses how they obtained their 33 buckets.
• 😀 The government of Jambi provided a stimulus program that helped fund the setup, offering 15 new buckets, fish, fertilizers, and other supplies.
• 😀 The presenter explains why they prefer using buckets for fish farming rather than larger ponds, citing easier water quality management and simpler maintenance.

Q & A

What is 'budikdamber' and how is it different from hydroponics?

Budikdamber is a method of fish farming in containers (buckets) combined with growing vegetables, known as aquaponics. In aquaponics, the nutrients for plants come from fish waste, whereas in hydroponics, the nutrients are manually provided using nutrient solutions like AB mix.

How many fish can be kept in one 60-liter bucket?

According to the ideal calculation, one fish per liter of water would mean 60 fish in a 60-liter bucket. However, the author leaves some space at the top of the bucket, reducing the total number to about 50 fish per bucket.

Why did the author choose to use buckets instead of larger fish ponds?

The author prefers buckets because they are easier to manage, especially when it comes to maintaining water quality. If the water quality in a bucket deteriorates, only the fish in that specific bucket are affected. In contrast, a large pond would impact all the fish if the water quality deteriorates.

What are some popular plants grown in 'budikdamber' systems?

Kangkung (water spinach) is a popular plant in 'budikdamber' because it grows easily and tolerates being submerged in water. The author also plans to grow mint alongside kangkung in their system.

What kind of assistance did the author receive from the local government?

The local government provided the author with a stimulus package, which included 15 buckets, 1,000 fish (lele catfish), fish feed, mint and kangkung seedlings, sorting basins, and fish probiotics. This was part of a support program for 'budikdamber' practitioners.

What challenges do the author and other 'budikdamber' practitioners face?

One of the challenges is managing the water quality. In a large fish pond, a drop in water quality affects all the fish, whereas in individual buckets, only the fish in that particular bucket are impacted.

What is the key difference between aquaponics and hydroponics in terms of plant nutrition?

Aquaponics uses fish waste as a natural source of nutrients for plants, while hydroponics relies on artificial, manually added nutrients (such as AB mix) to feed the plants.

What type of fish does the author raise in the buckets?

The author raises lele (catfish) in the buckets as part of the 'budikdamber' system.

What is the main reason why the author prefers smaller buckets to larger fish ponds?

The author finds it easier to control the water quality in smaller buckets. Managing water quality in a large pond is more challenging, and if water quality deteriorates, it affects all the fish. In buckets, only the fish in the affected bucket are at risk.

How does the author maintain water quality in the 'budikdamber' system?

The author can easily monitor and maintain water quality in individual buckets. If the water quality in one bucket deteriorates, only the fish in that bucket are affected, and the water can be changed with minimal waste.
