Cara Membuat Pupuk Organik Cair (POC) dari Sampah Dapur

Summary

This video tutorial demonstrates how to create liquid organic fertilizer using kitchen waste in an easy, odor-free way with high-quality results. It explains the process of using two Le Minerale bottles to create a container system, adding soil, and layering kitchen scraps to make compost. After 3 weeks, water is added daily to the compost, transforming it into nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer. The result is a dark brown liquid that can be diluted for use on plants. The tutorial also highlights how this system promotes plant growth, distinguishing it from traditional composting methods.

Takeaways

• 😀 Use two Le Minerale bottles to create the container system for making liquid organic fertilizer.
• 😀 The tip of one bottle should touch the bottom of the other bottle; the top part is used for a future planting system.
• 😀 Cut the first bottle precisely so the top fits and locks into the bottom part of the second bottle.
• 😀 In the second bottle, make a partial cut, a downward cut for easy opening, and add holes for ventilation.
• 😀 Add two handfuls of soil into the container and place it in a shady area for optimal conditions.
• 😀 Cut kitchen waste into pieces and mix it with the soil in the container until it’s full.
• 😀 After filling the container, let it sit for 3 weeks without adding more kitchen waste.
• 😀 After 3 weeks, plants will have grown in the upper container. Remove them to prevent nutrient depletion.
• 😀 Add 500 ml of water daily to the compost in the bottom container until it is completely full.
• 😀 Dilute the compost liquid with water to a 1:3 ratio (500 ml compost to 1500 ml liquid) before using it as fertilizer.
• 😀 The frequency and amount of fertilizer application depend on the plant size and the fertility of the soil.

Q & A

What is the main goal of the video tutorial?

The main goal is to teach viewers how to make liquid organic fertilizer from kitchen waste in an easy, odor-free way, without maggots, and with high-quality results.

How do the two bottles of Le Minerale play a role in the system?

The two bottles are used to create a container system where one bottle fits into the other. The top part of one bottle locks into the bottom part of the other, creating a functional setup for composting and liquid fertilizer collection.

What should you do after cutting the bottles?

After cutting the bottles, the top section of one bottle is kept to make a reservoir planting system in a later video. The bottom section is used for composting, with markers and holes made to allow airflow.

Why is it important to keep the container in a shady place?

The container should be kept in a shady place to avoid direct sunlight, which could interfere with the composting process and the growth of plants in the upper container.

What is the role of soil in the system?

Soil is added to the container to help mix with the kitchen waste, creating a better composting environment. It also aids in the growth of plants that will later be removed to avoid nutrient competition with the compost.

How do you know when to stop adding kitchen waste?

You stop adding kitchen waste once the container is full, and then you let it sit for three weeks. During this time, no additional waste should be added.

What happens after the three-week period?

After three weeks, plants will have grown in the upper container, and they should be removed to prevent them from taking nutrients from the compost that has now formed.

How is this method different from traditional composting?

This method is similar to composting but focuses on maintaining higher water content, unlike traditional composting, where water levels are kept low to avoid excess moisture.

How do you use the resulting liquid fertilizer?

The resulting liquid fertilizer is thick at first. To use it, you take 500 ml, dilute it with 1500 ml of water (3 times more), and apply it to your plants depending on the fertility of the soil and the size of the plants.

How often should the liquid fertilizer be applied?

The frequency of application depends on the fertility of the planting medium and the size of the plants. It is important to adjust the amount based on these factors.
