Hassle-free thanks to Instant Media
Gardening November 30th, 2010
Stay soaked for a while, light brownish blocks that turn into a media immediately ready to be planted various types of plants.
The first time the media looked at this plant, we immediately thought of conblock commonly used as paving material land. Yes, this planting medium is packaged in the form of small blocks of size conblock. After further attention and raised-then this block was light. Planting media-forming material is coconut coir dust. Clearly, light weight.
This is the planting medium of media innovation results from the coconut fiber plant that already exists. So far, people familiar with coconut coir as a growing medium, called cocopeat. This fiber is usually sold in the form of fibers, sheets, or small pieces.
If there is a powder, usually packed in large sacks and in wet conditions. This is what encourages the creation of the media sebuk planting coconut coir in a different form.
Practical and Hygiene
The difference this planting medium is on the packaging. After dried coconut coir, then he chopped that into powder. Dry powder is then hot pressed in a state with a special machine.
The result is a rectangular block this. Furthermore, this block of plastic packaged to maintain dryness. In one package, there are 2 pieces of the block, which is sold for Rp 15,000.
Effendi Njoto, media distributors branded Angzgro planting this, saying, “With the small size, consumers will be facilitated, because the media does not need to buy plants in large numbers.” Because this medium is dry, is light weight. One block weighs only about 4 ounces.
In addition, because there are heating during pressing process, the planting medium is practically free from disease. No more seeds or seedling pests common fungal plant entrenched in the media. Termites were reluctant to undermine these media, because the coconut fiber, cellulose content of the diet of termites, is not there.
Media loose Fertile Roots
How to use planting media is easy, simply add water and it will expand dengai itself. One package (2 pieces blocks) will expand into the planting medium volume of about 8 liters.
If it breaks down, coconut coir dust will be the planting medium is very loose. Friable media is suitable for breeding, because it easily penetrated by roots. Compare this with a more solid ground and eventually harden. Thus, plants grown in these media perakarannya stronger than plants grown in normal soil.
But this does not mean the media is only for the young plants only. Mature plants can also use this medium. Maybe there are fears the plant will not stand up firmly in the media is very loose.
Because of that, mix the soil with a ratio of 1:1 with the media this plant. Plant roots will grab a strong but generally remained friable media.
Often Unnecessary flushing
Coconut fiber is a medium capable of storing water. Therefore, plants that use the media should not be watered every day. Watering 3 – 4 days once is enough, although this depends on the type jugs plants. For other plants are not too fond of water, enough to do with penyiramannya sprayer.
What often happens, the upper surface of the pot is already visible wet, but the bottom of the pot is dry. Or vice versa. We recommend that you plug the media with a small wooden pole to test the water content in the pot so that watering completely flat.
Meanwhile, fertilization can be done as in other planting media. Or liquid fertilizer in the form of granules can be spread onto the surface of the pot. Replacement pot (repotting) also becomes easier, because the soil, the plant becomes easier appointed. Medium plus weight of plants is also lightweight, making it easy to transfer the plant.
Effendi claims that the lightweight media is able to survive 10 years without replacement. Depreciation media in the pot was not significant. If a little less, it was only because there yag media carried by the water when flushing.

Bath Showers November 9th, 2010
In the past, not many people who managed to find comfort in the bathroom. This place is only considered as a means to meet the ‘call of nature’ and wash your body. No wonder if they are not comfortable for long in the bathroom.
Today, countless more people who make the bathroom as a place to refresh the mind and physical. By getting both benefits earlier, people were willing to overhaul the bathroom. You also want to do?

Most of the people of Indonesia, continued Ghofar, still survive in such a way shower. Especially, those who live in rural and urban areas. ”In the cities, only certain communities are accustomed to using the bathroom to dry,”he added. Options bath authentic way determined by the perception of hygiene. Some people felt she was not clean, if not doused the pouring of water from the tub. ”In fact, there is not shit if only available tissues in the bathroom,’’said Ghofar. In the meantime, there are also people who felt it was tersegarkan with the flow of water from the shower. They also believe has successfully removed dirt with only a tissue sheet. Element”habits play a major role in this,’’said Ghofar. Case clean or not too concerned of the bathroom. Dry bathroom in the eyes of certain people much cleaner than the bathroom wet. Problem”clean something or do not do terpulang on each other’s perceptions,”explained Ghofar.
Wet versus dry
Base on this shower style, you can continue the creative process in designing a bathroom. Dry bathroom more visually unsightly. This type also bring extra comfort. ”It’s safer too because users could not easily slip by a slippery floor wet,’’said Ghofar who served as president of the company’s developers, Relife.
In terms of design, the bathroom could be better processed dry. Moreover, the floors do not need to set the slope. Automatic”, could play a ceramic according to the choice of themes,’’said the architect who developed Juanda and Cimanggis Green residence. In the bathroom dry, wet areas remain. Just spray localized in one place. ”There are shower tray in it which is equipped with a curtain or wall of glass materials, acrylic, or other mica,”Ghofar described.
Other equipment not much different from the wet bathroom. Inside is a toilet seat, place a tissue, hand towel, soap, sink, and mirror. Everything can be arranged neatly. ”Do not forget to provide a trash can to dispose of tissues,”Ghofar suggested.
Meanwhile, those who used to wash with water dipper can also enhance your bathroom with a variety of ways. As with choosing a particular theme. ”You can give accent natural stone, coral, or stone temples, depending on the chosen design,’’said Ghofar. In addition to the bathroom dry and wet, there are also semi-modern bathroom. In it, the bath can be protected. ”But, at least need an area of 2×2, 5 meters square to make it happen,”Ghofar comment.
If space is available to serve as the bathroom is not so vast, dry bathroom you can consider. Therefore, installation of bathtub eating enough places. Semi-dry type”is also the right choice. You do not need a bathtub and shower tray. However, wet areas should still localized,’’said Ghofar. For wall decorations, plenty of alternatives. Ceramics, wood, and stone can be glimpsed. Meanwhile, wallpaper only be mounted on a wall safe from a splash of water. Decorative material”nuance stuck in three dimensions can also be applied to bathroom walls,’’said Ghofar.
Trends
Later, more loved skylights. Luminescence of natural light produces a dramatic effect in the bathroom space. In general, skylights are ideal for all types of bathrooms. Usually skylights”his one-line-shaped light gap width 20 to 30 cm long 2 meters,”telling Ghofar, currently dry bath increased demand, especially those living in the compound.
Color”gray, black, and white with striking color accents like yellow, red, or green in vogue following the rise of minimalist style applications in housing,’’said Ghofar. Whatever the choice of the theme, the theme of harmony with the other rooms in the house should not be forgotten. Hit-and color should be avoided. Want a clearer picture? If the main room in the pink of domination, then the bathroom did not fit inside dibalurkan green. Unity”theme is important to note,”called Ghofar.
Security
As a very private room, a bathroom should be built with the advanced security element. Moreover, for users aged and very young. Angles”bathroom should not make people hurt when terbenturnya,”Ghofar reminded.
Also bathroom floor should be equipped with a coarse texture. That way, users do not easily slip. ”Then, the slope of the sewer pipe should also be regulated in order not clogged,’’said Ghofar. Another thing to consider is air circulation. Like any other room in the house, the bathroom needs to come into contact with the outside air. ”If you can not install windows or wind screen, provide exhaust fan.
