BACKGROUND

Unwitting, junk that is said to be the waste gradually will accumulate more and more and will continue to grow when there is no way an effective countermeasure. So if this waste more and more, it becomes a serious problem that will be faced, namely lead pollution in soil, water and air. Waste can be divided into two, organic and inorganic waste. Whereas, in the field of agriculture, growers more use of inorganic fertilizers, pesticides and other inorganic material. So that leaves a residue on the ground, which resulted in the contamination on the ground. For it takes concrete steps in order to maintain environmental sustainability and reduce reliance on the use of chemical fertilizers. One of them is by processing organic waste into compost.

MATERIAL AND TOOLS

FERTILIZER OF BANANA PEELS ON CHILI SEEDS

Material Tool1. Banana peels 1. Knife2. Chili 2. PolybagProcedures1. First, wash the banana peels until clean.2. Next, cut it into small pieces with knife.3. After it, dry it under sunlight around 2 weeks until the peels

become dried.4. Then, put the banana peels into polybag which contain chili Sow it

until spread evenly. 5. Compare the plant growth between this fertilizer with fertilizer of

egg shells.

FERTILIZER OF EGG SHELLS ON CHILI SEEDS

Material: Tools:1. Egg Shells 1. Stone2. Chili 2. Container

3. Polybag

Procedures1. First, put all egg shells into container.2. After it, dry the egg shells under sunlight until dried.3. Next, mash the egg shells with stone until wrecked like powder.4. Then, put the powder into polybag which contain chili. Sow it until spread

evenly. 5. Compare the plant growth between this fertilizer with fertilizer of banana

peels.

INTERPRETATION

Egg shells better than banana peels because:Egg shells has rich in protein. Egg shells has average growth of 1.5 cm,

making the plants that use egg shells grow faster than plants that use banana peels.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONConclusion

•The egg shells and banana peels can be used as a natural fertilizer because egg shells and banana peels contain protein and potassium that are useful to the ground. •Egg shells better than banana skin because it has on average a better growth compared with banana peels. It caused by a lot of protein content.

Suggestion•Reader can replace the main ingredient for making fertilizer in order to reduce synthetic ingredients that are often found in fertilizer. •Readers are advised to conduct research on advanced materials that are able to improve the quality of crops
