Abstract

The aim of this outreach is to educate the public that organic waste and animal waste have been very useful waste, for example as fertilizer but are rarely used due to lack of knowledge about it and the manufacturing process. Therefore, by providing socialization about making fertilizer from organic waste and animal waste, it can increase the added value of organic waste and animal waste and help the community increase plant productivity. Organic fertilizer is very good for plants because it can provide nutrients for plants. Its use can simultaneously loosen barren soil, increase porosity, aeration and the composition of microorganisms in the soil. Organic fertilizer is also useful for increasing the soil's water holding capacity so that it can store ground water longer. The process of making organic fertilizer can be done by decomposing or fermenting organic waste by planting it in a hole in the ground or a large pot and then filling it with soil, then the organic waste will naturally turn into organic fertilizer.
