TANAH JADI CEPAT MENYERAP GENANGAN AIR HUJAN DAN LEBIH SUBUR DENGAN MEMBUAT BIOPORI

Summary

In this video, Sony Teguh discusses the critical issues of soil degradation and poor water absorption, which contribute to flooding during the rainy season. A solution proposed by Haidar from IPB is the biopore absorption hole, which improves soil fertility and water absorption by promoting microbial activity. The video explains how to create these biopore holes using tools like a biopore drill, casing, and organic waste. Biopore holes can be made in various locations, including around plants and paved areas, helping restore soil health and prevent floods.

Takeaways

• 🌍 The soil currently struggles to absorb rainwater, which often leads to large puddles and flooding during the rainy season.
• 🌱 The soil is becoming less fertile over time, causing concern for agricultural productivity.
• 💡 Haidar from IPB has discovered a remarkable solution called biopore infiltration holes, which help improve soil water absorption and fertility.
• 🔬 Biopore holes foster a community of microorganisms that enhance soil fertility by creating natural pores in the soil.
• 🛠️ The process of making biopore holes involves using specific tools such as a biopore drill, casing, crowbar, and bioactivator solution.
• 📏 The hole should be about 4 inches in diameter and 1-12 meters deep to be effective.
• ♻️ The biopore hole should be filled with organic waste, which decomposes over time, enhancing soil fertility.
• 🌿 Spraying the organic waste with a bioactivator (e.g., EM4) can accelerate decomposition.
• 🚫 Measures should be taken to protect the biopore hole from pests like rats, such as leaving a space between the surface waste and the hole cover.
• 🏡 Biopore holes can be made in various locations, including paving blocks, water channels, around trees, or even in cemented yards.

Q & A

What issue does the speaker highlight about the current state of the soil?

The speaker highlights that the soil has difficulty absorbing rainwater, leading to extensive waterlogging and, in turn, causing floods during the rainy season. Additionally, the soil is becoming less fertile.

What solution does the speaker propose to address the soil and water absorption problem?

The speaker proposes the use of biopore infiltration holes, a method discovered by Haidar from IPB, to enhance the soil's ability to absorb water and improve its fertility.

How do biopore infiltration holes improve soil fertility and water absorption?

Biopore infiltration holes create a habitat for microorganisms, which dig small biopores in the soil, enhancing the soil's fertility and its ability to absorb water.

What materials and tools are needed to create biopore infiltration holes?

The materials and tools needed include a biopore drill, biopore casing, crowbar, dustpan, and bioactivator solution like EM4 or Edd.

What is the recommended size and depth for the biopore holes?

The recommended diameter for the biopore holes is 4 inches (16 cm), and the depth should be between 1 and 12 meters.

What is the purpose of filling the biopore holes with organic waste?

Filling the biopore holes with organic waste helps the soil decompose the waste, which accelerates the creation of humus, thereby improving soil fertility.

How can the decomposition process of the organic waste in the biopore holes be sped up?

The decomposition process can be sped up by spraying the organic waste with bioactivator solutions like EM4 or Edd.

What should be done if the organic waste in the biopore hole decomposes and shrinks over time?

If the organic waste decomposes and shrinks, it is recommended to refill the biopore hole with more organic waste.

How can the biopore holes be protected from being disturbed by pests like rats?

To prevent rats from disturbing the biopore holes, the space between the organic waste and the lid of the hole should be around 30-40 cm. Additionally, the surface of the waste can be covered with pungent-smelling chopped leaves, such as betel, mint, or neem.

Where can biopore infiltration holes be created?

Biopore infiltration holes can be created in various locations, such as on paved surfaces, water channels, around trees, or on cemented yards.
