Cara Membuat Pupuk Kompos Dari Daun Kering|How to make leaf compost

Summary

In this video, the host demonstrates how to create compost from dry leaves using a fermentation process. The necessary ingredients include granulated sugar, EM4 spray, and water. The EM4 and sugar mixture serves as food for microorganisms that aid the fermentation. After spraying the leaves thoroughly and stirring them, the leaves are placed in a sack to promote the composting process. Within about a month, the dry leaves break down into nutrient-rich compost, which can be used for gardening or other purposes.

Takeaways

• 😀 Introduction to composting dry leaves with a fermentation method.
• 😀 You will need granulated sugar, EM4 (microbial solution), and water for the process.
• 😀 The sugar serves as food for the microorganisms in EM4, helping the fermentation process.
• 😀 Use five bottle caps of EM4 for every 10 liters of water.
• 😀 Mix the EM4 and sugar thoroughly into the water before applying to the dry leaves.
• 😀 Spray the mixture evenly on both sides of the dry leaves.
• 😀 Stir the sprayed leaves to ensure the solution is well distributed.
• 😀 After spraying, pack the leaves into a sack to initiate the fermentation.
• 😀 The fermentation process will take about a month to turn the dry leaves into compost.
• 😀 After one month, the dry leaves will break down into dark, nutrient-rich compost.
• 😀 The final product is homemade compost, ready for use in your garden to improve soil quality.

Q & A

What is the purpose of using EM4 in the composting process?

EM4 (Effective Microorganisms) is used to speed up the fermentation process and introduce beneficial microorganisms that break down the organic matter in the dry leaves, turning them into compost.

Why is granulated sugar added to the mixture for composting?

Granulated sugar serves as food for the microorganisms in EM4. It provides an energy source that helps the microbes thrive and effectively break down the dry leaves during the fermentation process.

How much EM4 and sugar should be used for 10 liters of water?

For 10 liters of water, use five bottle caps of EM4 and enough granulated sugar to create a balanced mixture that supports the fermentation process.

Why is it important to spray the dry leaves evenly with the mixture?

Spraying the dry leaves evenly ensures that both the top and bottom sides of the leaves are exposed to the EM4 and sugar solution. This ensures that the entire pile of leaves undergoes fermentation and breaks down effectively.

What is the role of stirring the leaves after spraying them?

Stirring the leaves after spraying ensures that the solution is evenly distributed and helps in uniform fermentation, so all parts of the leaves receive the microorganisms necessary for the process.

Why are the leaves placed in a sack for the fermentation process?

Placing the leaves in a sack helps to contain the leaves together in a controlled environment, maintaining moisture and heat, which are essential for the fermentation process to occur efficiently.

How long does it take for the leaves to turn into compost?

The fermentation process takes about one month for the dry leaves to decompose and turn into compost.

What are the expected results after one month of fermentation?

After one month, the dry leaves should have fully decomposed into rich, dark compost that can be used to enrich the soil in your garden or for other gardening purposes.

Can this composting method be used with other organic materials?

Yes, this method can be applied to other organic materials such as food scraps, grass clippings, and plant cuttings. The key is using EM4 and sugar to promote the breakdown of organic matter.

What are some benefits of composting dry leaves using this method?

Composting dry leaves this way reduces waste, enriches the soil with valuable nutrients, and promotes sustainable gardening practices. It is an eco-friendly way to recycle organic materials into a useful resource.
