Membimbing Pembuatan Media Tanam Dasar Polybag Buat Pemula PART 1

Summary

In this video, the presenter demonstrates how to prepare a planting medium for growing shallots using a polybag system. The process involves combining three main ingredients: red soil, rice husk, and goat manure in a 2:1:1 ratio. The mixture is blended thoroughly to ensure good aeration and fertility. After preparing the media, the polybags are filled, and the mixture is left to settle for 1-2 weeks before planting. The video also discusses adding NPK and SP-36 fertilizers as a base for better growth. It concludes with a preview of the next steps in the shallot planting process.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video focuses on demonstrating how to prepare planting media for onions using the polybag system.
• 😀 The main components for the planting media include red soil, composted soil from burned rice husks, rice husk, and goat manure.
• 😀 The soil mixture ratio is 2 parts soil, 1 part rice husk, and 1 part goat manure to create a balanced and fertile media.
• 😀 Rice husk is used for improving porosity, helping with water retention and preventing soil compaction.
• 😀 Goat manure should be well-decomposed to ensure quick effectiveness when used in the planting media.
• 😀 After mixing the ingredients, the planting media should be left to rest for 1-2 weeks before planting.
• 😀 Fertilizers like NPK and SP-36 can be added to the media, approximately 5-10 grams per polybag, to enhance nutrient content.
• 😀 Polybags sized 40x40 cm are used for planting the onions, with up to 4 bulbs per polybag.
• 😀 The video also covers the preparation process in a hands-on, guided manner by a local expert.
• 😀 Viewers are encouraged to follow the next steps in future videos, which will cover onion planting and ongoing care.

Q & A

What materials are used for making the planting media in the video?

The materials used for making the planting media include red soil, composted rice husks, and goat manure.

What is the purpose of adding rice husks to the planting media?

Rice husks are added to improve the porosity of the soil, preventing it from becoming compacted and ensuring better water drainage.

How is the goat manure prepared for use in the planting media?

The goat manure should be aged or composted before use, as it breaks down faster and is more effective for plant growth.

What is the recommended ratio for mixing the components of the planting media?

The recommended ratio for the planting media mix is 2 parts red soil, 1 part rice husks, and 1 part goat manure.

Should the planting media be used immediately after mixing?

No, it is recommended to let the mixed media sit for 1-2 weeks before planting. However, you can add a base fertilizer like NPK or SP-36 before planting.

What type of plants is the planting media intended for in the video?

The planting media is primarily intended for planting red onions (bawang merah) using the polybag system.

What is the size of the polybags used for planting?

The polybags used for planting measure 40 x 40 cm in size.

How many onion bulbs can be planted in one polybag?

Each polybag can accommodate up to 4 onion bulbs.

Why is it important to let the media sit before planting?

Letting the media sit allows the components to blend well, and it also helps the fertilizer to start working before planting, ensuring healthier plant growth.

What is the next step after preparing the planting media and letting it sit?

The next step is planting the onions in the prepared polybags, following the care and maintenance routines outlined in the next part of the video.
