Abstract

Eco Pounding is a fabric dyeing technique that uses natural materials such as leaves, flowers, or branches to create fabric motifs. This technique is done by pounding natural materials onto the fabric using a hammer, so that the colours or motifs produced on the fabric match the original texture or shape of the natural materials used. Eco pounding is an eco-print technique that uses natural materials to create motifs on fabric, and this technique is very easy to do and uses materials that can be found around. Shibori Arashi dyeing technique is a fabric dyeing technique that utilises bonding and dyeing to determine the motif on the fabric. In this technique, the fabric is patterned using a pattern that has been made then crimped according to the pattern, then tied firmly using rope or rubber. After that, the fabric is dyed in a dye made from indigo leaves. Shibori Arashi dyeing usually produces striped motifs.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to provide training in making organic fertilizer as a practical step towards implementing sustainable organic farming. This program was implemented for members of the Gudangharjo Farmers Group located in Paranggupito, Wonogiri, an area with significant agricultural potential but limited implementation of organic farming practices. The training focused on the utilization of locally available materials, such as cow dung, rice bran, banana leaves, molasses, and decomposing microbes, to produce high-quality organic fertilizer. The methods used included explanations, demonstrations, and hands-on practice to improve participants' understanding and skills. Participants were introduced to the principles of organic farming, the benefits of organic fertilizer, and the technical steps of making compost, with an emphasis on the right ratio of ingredients, aeration, and moisture management. The results showed an increase in participants' knowledge and motivation to adopt organic fertilizer practices, supported by the availability of raw materials in the area. Participants successfully made organic fertilizer during the training, and follow-up evaluations showed their readiness to apply their knowledge in their farming activities. This program contributes to promoting sustainable farming practices and reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers, in line with efforts to preserve the environment and improve soil health. Future programs are expected to expand the reach of the training to neighboring farmer groups and incorporate advanced techniques for organic fertilizer production.

Abstract

The community’s demand for medicinal plants continues to grow along with the back to nature trend, which encourages the use of natural ingredients to maintain health. However, in Karangmojo Village, Weru Subdistrict, Sukoharjo Regency, many home gardens remain underutilized, even though they have the potential to serve as a source of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA). This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of members of the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) group in cultivating TOGA to support family health self-reliance. The program was conducted on January 15, 2025, at the Karangmojo Village Hall using a participatory approach, including counseling, technical training, field practice, and mentoring. Participants were introduced to various medicinal plants that are easy to cultivate, planting and maintenance techniques, as well as their applications for simple home remedies. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge and skills, reflected in their high enthusiasm during practice and their commitment to developing TOGA gardens in their respective yards. A demonstration TOGA garden was successfully established in one participant’s yard as a replicable model. This activity not only provided direct benefits for family health but also opened up economic opportunities through processing harvested medicinal plants into marketable herbal products. The program is expected to be sustainable with continuous mentoring and the establishment of a village-level TOGA working group.

Abstract

Organic waste management is becoming increasingly important in responding to current global environmental challenges. In this context, this community service aims to explore the potential for using organic waste as a substrate for hydroponic media in building a greener agricultural future in a sustainable system. The use of organic waste as a substrate for hydroponic media has great potential in supporting plant growth, because it contains available N, P2O5, K2O and C-organic nutrients which are sufficient for plant growth and development. Plants grown in organic waste-based substrates show comparable or even better growth compared to plants grown in conventional substrates. The use of organic waste in hydroponic farming also has a positive impact on the environment. More effective management of organic waste helps reduce environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This community service program has also succeeded in increasing public awareness and knowledge about organic waste management and hydroponic technology. Thus, the use of organic waste as a substrate for hydroponic media offers great potential in improving organic waste management, increasing agricultural productivity, and reducing negative impacts on the environment. This activity makes a real contribution to building a more sustainable agricultural future and contributes to global efforts in facing increasingly complex environmental challenges.
