In addition to reducing the waste pile, it can help meet the food needs of the family. If the want to persevere even could be a business opportunity. Okay we refer to the article about planting vegetables by using tin cans made by Mr. Casino, vegetable planters in Tandes, Surabaya, East Java. Can be simulated, to keep in mind is how to planting, the media used includes cans and soil as well as fertilizer and watering.
Plain tin cans thrown into the trash. However, not for the Casino, vegetable planters in Tandes, Surabaya, East Java. He collected cans as a size of 5 kg viticulture or terraced cultivation system.
The view was quite the contrast. In the corner of a garden area of 700 m2, cans piled; 200 m from the pile of fresh green panorama looks. Ten cans arranged vertically as high as 2 m and reinforced with bamboo. Celery thrives in any 'pits' on the walls of the tin. In addition to celery, Casinos also grow some vegetables such as onion, peppers, cabbage, and tomatoes. He planted a total of 30 general-tech vegetable viticulture.
Idea can make it appear because viticulture Casinos and Dada Permadi concerned agribusiness sector less attractive. 'Need to innovate and create new technologies in order to cultivate the farm back ogled, "Casino said. Therefore, since the beginning of 2007 they designed the viticulture in 700 m2 land. The location was originally just overgrown shrubs. At first casino looking for a used paint cans and ice cream diameter of 15 cm.
Viticulture is not new. Since the 1990s it has been applied to aquaculture technology. Generally use bamboo planters, polietilenchlorida (PVC), and pot. However, Casinos just take advantage of thrift. With vertical farming system, it is possible to intensify. Imagine, in a casino can make a planting hole 45. In fact, in an area of 1 m2 he made a stacking viticulture 4. The flats consist of 10 cans. Therefore the number of pits in the 4 flats at 1,800 pieces.
Of 4 flats viticulture in 1 m2 of land, he plucked an average of 20 kg of celery. Kilo of celery consists of 4 family of plants, each of which consists of 10 stems. In the market price of Rp 1,000 3 stalks celery, thus obtaining a minimum Rp266.000 Casino. Compare with productivity conventionally grown celery. According to Husin Kusnadi, vegetable planters in Bandung, celery productivity an average of 8 kg per m2. the selling price of Rp 4,000 per kg, only Rp32.000 income. Meaning, celery vertikultur higher productivity than conventional celery.
According to Dr. Agus Suryanto, cultivation expert Brawijaya University in Malang, very reasonable viticulture high production throughout the supply of nutrients are met. Nutrient sources in the cans is very limited. Therefore viticulture planters add fertilizer to meet the nutrient needs for crops. With the addition of vegetable fertilizer viticulture that productivity remains high.
In addition to saving the land, the method was also minimal care. For watering, simply rotate the faucet. Mixture of water and nutrients in the reservoir which is higher than the arrangement viticulture flow to the top pot. Casinos cover the surface of each pot on top and make dozens of hole diameter of 2 mm. Nutrient solution flows into the pot below it, and so on until the most basic pot. In a day 3 times a given nutrient solution, 2,5 l. 'This way to conserve water is wasted as 100-fold,' Casino added.

Growth nutrients made of sugars and other elements are fermented for a week. Casino include a mixture of 1 liter of nutrients into the 20 liters of water. The fluid serves as a source of nutrients necessary for plant growth. The result, faster growth, faster harvesting, and production increased. Although in 1 can be planted dozens of plants, there will be no competition, because of the necessary nutrients are very abundant.

Casino said the cost of production to make a series consisting of 10 pots viticulture only Rp 30,000. Other expenses for maintenance only. 'Not up to Rp 5,000 per can, because all the equipment and the planting medium can be used again, "said Dada. Growing media can be used up to 3 times the investment. However, according to Sunandi Kertawijaya, planters viticulture in Bandung, West Java, terraced farming more expensive. 'All right equipment to be purchased, including nutrients for plants. Conventional cultivation, everything is available on the ground, 'said Sunandi.
Another advantage? Planters can set the time of harvest. Rice for example. If in paddy harvest only 2 times a year, with viticulture can set up to 5 times the harvest. With the natural advantages and Dada Casino plans expand her garden again.
