In the Kintamani-Bangli region of East Bali, Indonesia.  

 

 

 

May 2005

Seleksi lokasi tanah rata sebesar 5.000 m2 di sewah oleh kemitraan Bali Fresh untuk 5 tahun. Sumber air dari danau. Ketinggian dpm1100 m, temperatur siang rata2 +/- 27 C, temperatur malam rata2 +/- 14 C. Kualitas tanah tidak baik. Daerah Kintamani-Bangli di Bali Timur.

 

Land clearing and leveling. It is important that the location is completely flat (horizontal) so minimum problems with irrigation systems are foreseen. We do not like large trees next to our tunnels or netting houses because they can block light from entering the tunnel or netting houses.

 

 

 

 

 

June 2005

Bersihkan dan meratakan tanah. Penting untuk bikin lokasi rata (waterpas) benar, supaya nanti tidak ada masalah dengan system irigasi.Kita juga tidak suka kalau ada pohon besar dekat tunnel atau netting house kita, sebab matahari nanti tidak bisa masuk ke greenhouse.

 

Construction of the Nursery. A large central nursery has been build to supply future Bali Fresh Female Farmers Partners with high quality young plants. A good start with healthy young plants free from pest & diseases is very important. Because of the specialized facilities in this nursery we can supply better quality young plants than when a farmer produces young plants her self.  

 

 

 

August 2005

Konstruksi Nursery (ruang pembibitan). Kita bikin nursery yang besar untuk produksi tanaman muda dengan kualitas baik untuk Mitra Ibu Ibu Petani "Bali Fresh". Mulai dengan tanaman muda yang sehat dan bebas dari hama dan penyakit adalah penting. Sebab fasilitas khusus didalam nursery kita bisa produksi tanaman muda lebih baik daripada kalau Ibu Ibu Petani produksi tanaman muda sendiri.

 

Making pressed blocks for sowing or transplanting. Pressed blocks are made from a mixture of water, cow manure and cocopeat. Than mixed and pressed with an old Dutch block press. This way in a relative fast way we can make same size blocks for all young plants in a short time. In this nursery we now make blocks, sow them, transplant them and plant young plants good for 6 to 10 beds. depending on marketing demand. This volume can increase.  

 

 

 

 

September 2005

Bikin blok peres untuk semai atau tanam. Blok pers di bikin dengan air, pupuk kandang dan serbuk kelapa. Di campur dan diperes dengan alat lama dari Belanda. Dengan cara ini kita bisa bikin blok dengan kualitas sama dengan cepat. Didalam ruang pembibitan ini, sekarang kita bikin blok peres, kita semai, dan pinda tanaman mudah sebanyak 6 sampai 10 bedding per hari tergantung permintaan pasar. Jumlah ini masih bisa naik.

 

Making pressed blocks for sowing or transplanting. Same size and quality of these blocks is important so all young plants get same situation, this will improve uniformity. This again is important if we want to sow, plant and harvest according to a planning agreed upon with market.

 

 

 

 

September 2005

Bikin blok peres untuk semai atau tanam. Ukuran dan kualitas yang sama dari blok peres ini adalah penting, supaya sumuah tanaman muda dapat situasi yang sama. Ini akan bantu kebersamaan/uniformitas. dan uniformitas ini lagi penting kalau kita mau semai, pindah, tanam dan panen sesuai rencana di bikin bersama pasar..
Sowing directly in the pressed blocks. Certain seeds with a germination of more than 95% are sown directly into the blocks. Lower germination rates will result in empty blocks and will make planning difficult, or need much more blocks to be made. This again needs more nursery space. These low germinating seeds are therefore sown in a sowing trays or beds and later transplanted.  

 

 

September 2005

Semai langsung didalam blok pers. Beberapa type benih dengan % kecambah 95% bisa di semai langsung dalam blok peres. Benih dengan % kecambah rendah menghasil kan blok kosong dan itu akan sulit untuk rencana panen atau kita perlu lebih banyak blok peres. dan ini lagi perlu lebih banyak ruang pembibitan. Sebab itu benig dengan % kecambah rendah akan di semai dalam wadah semai sebelum pindah ke blok peres.
Transplanting small plants into the pressed blocks. Small plantlets from the sowing tray are transplanted to the block. This way you can only transplant the stronger plants and select the lower quality plants. This will shorten the time the blocks are in the Nursery by 2 to 3 weeks. This means with this system the same size nursery can handle more plants.  

 

 

October 2005

Pindah tanam kecil ke blok peres. Tanaman mudah dari wadah semai telah di pindah ke blok peres. Dengan cara ini kita bisa pindah hanya tanaman muda yang kuat dan seleksi tanaman kurang kuat. dengan cara ini blok peres bisa di pinda ke lahan 2 s/d 3 minggu lebih cepat. berarti kita tidak perlu riang pembibitan terlalu besar.
Transplanting small plants to the pressed blocks with the help from Partners Farmers. During peak hours transplanting is done with the help of the partner farmers. In order to create continuity in supply to the market, making pressed blocks, sowing, transplanting, prepare beddings, planting and harvesting is all connected.  

 

 

October 2005

Pindah tanam kecil ke blok peres dengan bantuan dari Mitra Petani. kalau lagi sibuk pindah tanam di lakukan dengan bantuan dari Mitra Petani. Untuk mencapai kontinuitas kirim barang ke pasar harus ada koneksi antara bikin blok peres, semai, pindah, siapkan bedding, tanam dan panen.

 

Small plants ready for planting to the out door fields, net houses or tunnels. When plants are ready for planting in the soil than the blocks with small plants are placed in small crates and brought to the fields by the Female Farmers themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

November 2005

Tanaman muda siap untuk tanam di lahan terbuka, ruang jaring atau tunel plastik. Kalau tanaman siap untuk tanam di tanah, blok peres dengan tanaman muda di taro dalam keranjang dan dibawa ke lahan oleh Mitra petani sendiri.

 

 

 

Prepare the land for planting. Before planting the beds are prepared, weeds have been removed, fertilizers have been added, irrigation lines have been installed, planting holes have been made.

 

 

 

 

 

November 2005

Siapkan tanah untuk tanam. Sebelum tanam beddingan di bikin siap untuk tanam, gulma di buang, di berikan pupuk, system irigasi di pasang dan lobang tanam di bikin.

 

 

Lettuce just planted and watered by irrigation system. Here we see lettuce plants just planted and the watering by the irrigation system has started in order to make sure there is no water shortage. After some days the irrigation system will be used to fertigate the plants (water mixed with fertilizer). Because this is a sandy gravel soil we have to fertigate regularly.  

 

 

November 2005

Selada barusan ditanam dan di siram dengan sistem irigasi.
Training in the Field. Learning by doing has been an important part of this training. Allowing these female farmers to make there own mistakes but prevent them from making big mistakes. This means that as a trainer you have to be there most of the time, especially during the first year of their training. In time the trainer will spent less time to train these female farmers and more and more become a extension worker that visits these farms once a month. Monthly Female Farmers meetings will also be organized.  

 

 

 

 

December 2005

Pelatihan di kebun.Belajar dengan lakukan aktivitas sendiri adalah cara kita mengajar mitra kita. Izinkan mereka untuk bikin kesalahan sendiri tetapi jaga mereka supaya mereka tidak bikin kesalahan terlalu besar. Berarti pelatih sering harus ada di lokasi, khususnya tahun pertama dari latihan. Dalam waktu pelan pelan pelatih akan perlu kurang banyak waktu untuk latih Ibu Ibu Petani ini dan posisi dia akan jadi penyuluh yang datang 1 x per bulan saja. Tetap ada pertemuan setiap bulan untuk Mitra Petani Ibu Ibu.

 

Lettuce is growing well during the rainy season under simple plastic tunnels. Sheltering young plants from heavy rain is important in order to improve production and quality. Buts as soon as you start with tunnels than you need a irrigation system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

December 2005

Selada tumbuh dengan baik dibawa tunel plastik sederhana. jaga tanaman muda dari hujan deras adalah penting untuk perbaiki produksi dan kualitas. kalau kita mulai dengan tunel plastik kita juga perlu sistem irigasi.

 

 

 

Research is ongoing to find out the difference between growing in net houses, in tunnels or out door. Research in a partnership between Universities, private companies and the Bali Fresh female Farmers Partnership is done in order to improve Production, Quality and Continuity. Different technologies are compared under local situations.  

 

 

December 2005

Penelitian sedang jalan untuk banding tanam di luar, di dalam rumah jaring atau di dalam tunel plastik. Kita lakukan penelitihan ini, dalam kemitraan dengan mahasiswa dari Bali (Universitas Warmadewa) dan Bogor (Universitas Djuanda), staff dari Joro(pt) untuk perbaiki produksi, kualitas dan kontinuitas. Kita banding beberapa teknologi didalam situasi lokal.
