TroBiodiversity Enhancement: Preparation Plants and Media (Part I)

Tommorow, on 3 February 2015, we are the teams of Eco-EduActions started to initiate a program which helped enhancing tropical biodiversity plants from Indonesia. The aims of the program were to maintain tropical plants from Indonesia and to enhance tropical biodiversity in which these aims would be beneficial for the next generations.We tried to plant and cultivate some typical tropical plants including vegetables, herbals, trees and so forth.  In this program, I engaged more than 2 people to take a part. They were so cooperative and good children who were passionate to the environment and planting.

There are some green activities of the program, including preparing the plants and media, seeding and selecting the plants, planting the seedlings and maintaining the plants.

In this time, I would like to tell you major activities of prelimenary program which are:

 
1. Preparing the Plants/Seedlings: this point tell the previous activity in form of preparation of plants and seedling. There were some plants which were used such as red spinaches, tomatoes, Solanum sp., and water spinaches. Here, we should select the best candidates of the plants for better growth. We took the seedlings from buying at the Farming Shop in Bogor, West Java.

P   2. Preparing Media for Planting: The second time was preparation of media for planting. It comprised polybags, fertilizer, shoves, diggers and soils. There was uniqueness in preparing the media. Polybags used for media could be 3R – Reuse, Recycle and Reduce – so that we should be careful as using these polybags for media. Fertilizers were obtained close to my home in which it was easily gained from organic decomposition and combustion of trashes. The fertilizer was so black and it contained more humus. We should combain it with soils and we could do it and look for nerby my house. Shoves and diggers were the useful tools for dig up soils and fertilizers from the surface of land.

The next agenda was selecting the seedlings and cultivating as well as maintaining the growth. So keep on standing in this blog ya! We will tell you as soon as possible!
