Pupuk Organik Cair Dari Kulit Buah Dan Sampah Dapur

Summary

In this video, learn how to turn kitchen waste like fruit peels and vegetable scraps into potent liquid organic fertilizer for your plants. By combining ingredients like rice wash water, brown sugar, and a decomposer like EM4, you can create a nutrient-rich solution that promotes plant growth and soil health. The process involves chopping the scraps, fermenting the mixture for 10–15 days, and then using the liquid fertilizer for foliar spraying or soil application. This eco-friendly and easy-to-make fertilizer is perfect for organic gardening and ensures a sustainable, healthy garden.

Takeaways

• 😀 Fruit and vegetable scraps from your kitchen can be repurposed into potent liquid organic fertilizer for your plants.
• 😀 You can use various fruit peels, such as watermelon, mango, and mangosteen, as well as vegetable scraps like cabbage, spinach, and onion skins.
• 😀 Rice wash water (5 liters) serves as the base for the liquid fertilizer mixture.
• 😀 Brown sugar (2 oz) helps ferment the mixture and encourage microbial growth.
• 😀 A decomposer such as EM4 or MOL is essential for the fermentation process to break down the scraps into nutrient-rich fertilizer.
• 😀 Cut the fruit peels and vegetable scraps into small pieces to speed up the fermentation process.
• 😀 After mixing the ingredients, store the mixture in a sealed container in a shaded, cool place for 10-15 days for fermentation.
• 😀 Open the container daily to release gases produced during fermentation, ensuring the process proceeds correctly.
• 😀 The mixture is ready when it emits a fermented, tape-like smell, usually after 10-14 days.
• 😀 Strain the liquid fertilizer before use and apply it to your plants either through spraying or watering with specific dilution ratios.
• 😀 The remaining solid scraps can be reused as compost or applied directly around the plant roots.

Q & A

What is the main goal of making organic liquid fertilizer from kitchen waste?

The main goal is to repurpose kitchen waste like fruit peels and vegetable scraps into a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer that helps promote plant growth in an eco-friendly and sustainable way.

Why is it important to cut the fruit peels and vegetable scraps into small pieces before fermentation?

Cutting the scraps into small pieces helps accelerate the fermentation process by increasing the surface area, making it easier for the decomposer and microorganisms to break down the organic material.

What role does rice wash water play in the fertilizer-making process?

Rice wash water serves as the liquid medium for fermentation, providing essential nutrients that promote microbial growth and aid in the breakdown of the organic matter, making it an ideal base for the fertilizer.

What is the function of brown sugar in the process of making the fertilizer?

Brown sugar acts as a food source for the microorganisms involved in fermentation, helping to boost their activity and facilitate the breakdown of the fruit and vegetable scraps into usable nutrients for plants.

Can other decomposers be used instead of EM4 for this process?

Yes, other decomposers like MOL (Microbe-Organic Liquid) or other locally available alternatives can be used in place of EM4 to help accelerate the fermentation process and promote the breakdown of organic materials.

How long does it take for the organic liquid fertilizer to ferment and become ready for use?

The fermentation process typically takes 10 to 15 days. During this time, it’s important to open the container daily to release gases and allow for proper fermentation.

What signs indicate that the organic liquid fertilizer is ready for use?

When the fertilizer reaches a mature state, it will have a distinct sour or 'tape-like' smell, signaling that fermentation is complete and it is ready for use.

How should the organic liquid fertilizer be applied to plants?

The fertilizer can be applied either by spraying or watering. For spraying, dilute it in a 1:20 ratio (1 part fertilizer to 20 parts water) and spray onto plants twice a week. For watering, dilute it in a 1:10 ratio (1 part fertilizer to 10 parts water) and apply once a week.

What should be done with the solid scraps left over after filtering the fertilizer?

The solid scraps can be either added to a compost bin or used directly in the soil around plant roots to further enrich the garden.

What benefits do plants get from using this organic liquid fertilizer?

Plants benefit from the fertilizer’s nutrients, which include macro and micronutrients essential for growth, as well as beneficial microorganisms that improve soil health and create a conducive environment for plant growth.
