To increase soil microbial activity, enhance soil physical and chemical properties, and boom nutrient availability in soil, the soil should be fertilized. The best fertilizer is organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizers can be produced from around us today, both kitchen waste and dry waste in the form of leaves. This goal is what the Faculty of Sports Science, Yogyakarta State University wants to achieve in the Workshop held on Thursday, October 14, 2021, at the GPLA FIK Main Meeting Room.

The Technical Workshop on Compost Fertilizer Management, which the UKBMN FIK Sub-Division initiated, presented Mr. Haryadi as a speaker and Mr. Sugeng Riyadi, as well as Mr. Sumarwan as a technical team from the Sleman Environment Agency.

In his speech, the Dean of FIK UNY hoped that with the vast land currently owned by FIK, which is covered with grass and trees, it is hoped that the waste can be used as organic fertilizer so that the benefits will return to FIK. The need for compost that has been needed so far can be produced independently.

As many as 30 participants attended this event; the aim was to understand the equipment and materials, how to manage compost so that, as an output, get knowledge of composting organic waste products. Not only in theory, but participants can also directly practice in order to get the maximum benefit from the Workshop.

Composting is a physical change from organic waste to compost, using a biological process with the help of micro and macro-organisms. The raw materials needed for composting are kitchen waste, garden waste, agricultural waste, livestock, carpentry, and market waste. While the composting model can be adjusted to the size of the existing land, including; soil hole, biopori hole, bio pot hole, composter, communal compost bin, open window model, and electric composter.
