INTRODUCTION
Planting through hydroponic methods is a common and effective way to
use in the cultivation of plants in areas with limited land. One of the countries that
managed to develop this way is Singapore. According to data mentioned by the
Indonesian Embassy in Singapore, vegetables produced through the hydroponics
system is 17%. This method is also able to be a planting medium for plants that
can not be planted on land that has low fertility levels such as vegetables, nuts,
also fruits. Simple hydroponics need only the containers that grow plants and
materials that can absorb and store water and nutrients needed by plants. One of
the ingredients that can store water and nutrients in the hydroponics method is the
gel on baby diapers that is now also a problem for the environment.
Globally the rate of use of diapers or pampers is very high at
6,840,507,000. Based on data obtained from the Sanitation Office of the
Municipality of Arnem, the Netherlands pile of baby diapers reached 180 million
kilos per year. The Ministry of Environment responds to this by processing diaper
waste into a hydroponic planting medium. Looking at the government's only goal
to reduce diaper waste, there is a double solution that will be the way out not only
to reduce diaper waste in the world but also to increase the world's food security
through an integrated diaper hydroponics system.
The management of this type of territory encountered various obstacles
both from the soil structure and climatic factors so that the agricultural output is
very less. If the land in this area can be optimized then the world's food
production materials will increase. One solution for crop management in this area
is by hydroponic method. Therefore we have a way out through the hydroponics
system by utilizing the gel from baby diaper waste to optimize the land in the
semi-arid region type to increase the availability of world food.
METHODOLOGY
Place and Time of Implementation
Place of execution in the workshop majoring in semi arid region In
Indonesia like Nusa Tenggara and all of semi arid region type in the whole
world.
Tools and Materials
Tools used are scissors for editing diapers to pick up gels and
agricultural tools and necessary materials in the form of diapers, polybags,
sand, organic fertilizers, water and plant seeds..
Design and Development Process
Hydropok is an integrated way of planting that can nourish the plants and does not
require daily watering but requires intensive monitoring. .
FINDINGS
Hydropok system reduces the intensity of watering in the process of
recording because the gel in the baby's diaper is able to store water and nutrients
in a long time and in considerable volume. Implementation of this system can be
done in the semi-arid area with a narrow land or large land because it is applied
with a rack-making that can be adjusted to the land area. The shelf is used as a
place to put pots or polybags for the hydroponic planting medium.
Hydropok will not depend on the season in planting especially rainfall in
semi-low area, so farmers can plant periodically. If in a period of one year the
farmers do the planting without stopping there will be 9x harvest and will get the
results of 5.9940 types of plants on an area of 1 ha.
CONCLUSIONS
Hydropok is a hydroponic cropping system that utilizes gel in baby diapers
combined with sand media as well as organic fertilizer as a way of optimizing
land in semi arid region.
