MEMBUAT KOMPOSTER SISTEM EMBER TUMPUK DARI GALON

Summary

In this video, the presenter shares a simple method for creating compost using stacked mineral water gallons. The process involves cutting the gallons to create a top for organic waste and a bottom for collecting leachate. The presenter emphasizes layering dry leaves, soil, and kitchen scraps to reduce odor and promote decomposition. Tips are provided on watering the compost with rice wash water and harvesting leachate for use as organic fertilizer. The video concludes with advice on keeping the composting container dark to encourage microbial activity, making gardening more enjoyable and sustainable.

Takeaways

• 😀 Use two empty mineral water gallons for the composting system.
• 😀 Cut the top off one gallon and the bottom off the other for proper stacking.
• 😀 Make small holes in the top gallon to allow leachate to drain into the bottom container.
• 😀 Start layering with dry leaves or plant debris, followed by soil and organic waste.
• 😀 Repeat the layering process to maintain balance between dry and wet materials.
• 😀 Enhance decomposition by adding decomposer solution or rice washing water.
• 😀 After two weeks, collect leachate for use as organic fertilizer.
• 😀 Leachate must be processed by drying before it can be safely used on plants.
• 😀 Dispose of any remaining organic matter into a composting bin once it decomposes.
• 😀 Painting the compost container can help create a dark environment that fosters microorganism growth.

Q & A

What is the primary purpose of the video?

The video demonstrates how to create compost using a stacked bucket system, specifically using recycled water gallon containers.

What materials are needed to make the compost system?

Two used mineral water gallons, organic waste, dry leaves, soil, and a decomposer solution or rice wash water.

How should the water gallons be prepared for composting?

Cut the top off one gallon and the bottom off another to create a system where one acts as a collection container for leachate and the other holds organic waste.

What is the purpose of the holes in the upper gallon?

The holes allow leachate to drain from the organic waste layer into the bottom container.

What layers are recommended for the composting process?

Start with dry leaves, followed by soil, then add organic waste, and repeat the layering process.

Why is it important to use more dry leaves in the compost?

Using more dry leaves helps reduce unpleasant odors from the compost by balancing the moisture content.

How can the composting process be accelerated?

By applying a decomposer solution or using water from rinsed rice to keep the compost moist.

What is leachate, and how is it used?

Leachate is the liquid that drains from the compost and can be used as organic fertilizer for plants after being processed.

What steps should be taken before using leachate on plants?

The leachate should be sun-dried for at least two weeks until its color is concentrated and the odor is less pungent.

What additional advice is given for optimizing the composting environment?

It is recommended to paint the composting container dark to promote the growth of microorganisms that aid in decomposition.
