Cara Menanam Sayur Sistem Vertikultur Paralon

Summary

In this video, Muhammad Rizki Ramadhani demonstrates how to create a vertical garden using recycled materials, such as used PVC pipes, for urban farming. He explains how to prepare a planting medium consisting of fermented rice husks, manure, and soil in a 1:1:1 ratio, which is then placed in a PVC pipe with 21 holes. Various plants, like lettuce and herbs, are grown in this space-efficient system, suitable for limited urban environments. The video emphasizes sustainability, self-sufficiency, and the benefits of home gardening in tight spaces.

Q & A

What is the main topic discussed in the video?

The video discusses the creation and components of a 'food garden,' particularly focusing on vertical gardening using recycled materials like old PVC pipes (paralon).

What is the function of a vertical garden (verticulture) in urban settings?

The vertical garden helps save space, making it ideal for urban environments with limited land. It allows people to grow various plants using minimal space, often with recycled materials like PVC pipes.

What materials are used to build the vertical garden (verticulture)?

The vertical garden is built using old PVC pipes (paralon), which have 21 holes drilled into them for planting various crops.

What types of plants are suitable for growing in the vertical garden?

The video mentions several types of plants that can be grown, including herbs, vegetables like pakcoy and lettuce (four varieties), and green onions and celery.

What are the components used to prepare the planting media for the vertical garden?

The planting media consists of fermented rice husks (sekam), livestock manure (cow manure), and sand or soil. These are mixed together in a ratio of 1:1:1.

How is the planting media prepared and mixed for use in the vertical garden?

The rice husks, manure, and soil/sand are mixed together evenly. The rice husks help with aeration, while the manure provides additional nutrients for the plants.

How is the planting done in the vertical garden?

Seedlings, such as curly lettuce, are planted by creating small holes using two fingers and inserting the seedlings into the planting media. It is advised to water the seedlings before planting to help the roots attach better to the soil.

How long does it take for the plants to grow and be ready for harvesting?

The plants are usually ready for harvest within 3 to 4 weeks after planting. When including the time for seeding, the total growth period can be around 1 to 1.5 months.

What is the significance of urban farming and food gardens in city environments?

Urban farming and food gardens provide a solution to limited space in cities by allowing people to grow their own food efficiently using vertical gardens and recycled materials, promoting self-sufficiency and reducing dependency on external food sources.

What is the recommended size of the PVC pipes (paralon) for building the vertical garden?

The recommended size of the PVC pipes for the vertical garden is 4 to 6 inches in diameter, with 21 holes drilled into them to accommodate the plants.
