Care for the environment is not only applied early to children but also to be applied to the Mothers as the best educators for their children to emulate what his mother well. I carry Real Working Lecture in the Village Sidorekso Kaliwungu District of Kudus for 35 days. There I and friends carry out community development programs that benefit. One that I carry is education and the practice of making vertical garden of plastic bottles and how to plant with the media. The activity was carried out for 2 days, the first day is the socialization vertical garden and the second day is the practice of making vertical garden of plastic bottles. Mothers were very enthusiastic and interested in these activities. Because according to them, the vertical garden is still strange and something new in the village. In addition to counseling and practice, I encourage mothers to aerobic exercises together so that pep in practice.

As we know that the Vertical Garden is a new alternative for anyone who wants to have a garden me but do not have a large area. Vertical Garden is also known by terms such as vertical garden, green wall, vertical gardens and others. Vertical Garden is a vertical garden concept, plants and other garden elements are arranged in a vertical field.

Tools and materials used to make land are plastic bottles, ropes, mosquito repellent, ornamental plants, organic fertilizers, and cutter. Mothers here in addition to those utilizing the bottles for the planting medium, mothers also learn environmentally friendly lifestyle by growing plants for aesthetic in home and increase the supply of oxygen around their home.

The steps made are as follows:

1.       First, prepare three plastic bottles. This bottle will be used as a place to grow pot plants.

2.       Create a large rectangular hole with a width of about 3 cm, or can be approximated according to the size of the plant.

3.       Create also some small hole diameter of 0.5 cm at the bottom of the rectangular hole that you created. Small holes serves to remove the water when watering. Excessive water will drip out of this hole. To make it, you can use the cutter, scissors or a needle and then widened using a screwdriver or by heating using a solder, or can also use a power drill. The current practice by mothers using mosquito coils.

4.       Media for the plant had been completed. Furthermore, we will make a hanger. How, for two pairs of holes with a diameter of approximately 1 cm on the left and right ends of the bottle to penetrate the inside of the bottle. These holes act as a pathway rope. For more details, look at the picture.

5.        Once the hole is ready, insert the rope through the holes. Make a knot at the end of a rope to hold the bottom of the pot so as not to fall, then make a knot at the top of the pot also in order to maintain the position of the pot is always balanced and does not change. At a distance of about 1 inch (20 cm), also made a knot to hold the bottom of the next pot and make a knot at the top as well as the previous pot. Similarly to the pots next.

6.       Insert the planting medium and small plants in pots that have been made. Give them fertilizer for plants to flourish.

7.       Finally, a series of pots hanging from bottles that had connected the rope to the wall or on the ceiling of the porch as decoration. Do not forget to water the plants and fertilize regularly.
 

This is the result of artificial Vertical Garden Village Mothers Sidorekso Kaliwungu District of Kudus. The mothers are also concerned about the environment.

    Vertical garden is so simple and such an eco friendly way to reuse plastic bottle to grow plants. Mothers are the producers , consumers , care takers , shoppers , cook and players of almost all vital roles. So they should be the first ones to be taught environmental values or tips like vertical gardening so that they can set examples for their families . Thanks for an interesting report, Irfan.
