Re-PLANTING HLT

“Hidup segan mati tak mahu”

On November 11, 2022, the replanting procedure was completed on both HLTs due to the plants’ not growing as flourish as before. The roots are tangled in the HLT channels, which prevents the free passage of nutrients and water through the system. Fresh seed stock and cocopeat.

The vegetables were successfully grown after approximately three weeks. Then, harvested and donated to Pusat Kajian Alam Melayu (KALAM)’s staff.

Our Vegetables are Flourishing

It’s amazing to see how our vegetables have flourished since we started our urban farming project. From seed to table, we’ve been able to watch them grow and thrive under the sun.

It’s been a learning experience, to say the least. We’ve had to adjust our methods based on what’s worked and what hasn’t, and we’ve learned a lot about growing vegetables and understanding how the HLT structure system’s working.

Every day, we check in on them to see how they’re doing, and it’s so exciting to see them growing bigger and stronger. Trust me. It’s like therapy. Very comforting.

IoT Urban Farming: Menuai Hasil Tanaman

Mula semai benih : 9 Jun 2022

Tarikh menuai sayur: 28 Jun 2022

Beginilah hasilnya, setelah hampir 3 minggu memulakan tanaman sayur ini. Benarlah, berbudi pada ‘urban farming’ tentulah dapat hasil yang lumayan.

Asalnya ada 2 struktur urban farming, cuma 1 set yang berfungsi dan memberikan hasil. 1 set lagi ada masalah kegagalan pam. Sedang dibaiki.

Dapatan utama: Sistem berfungsi dengan baik di mana penjagaan tanaman adalah sangat minima dan boleh dikendalikan oleh petani amatur seperti (saya) hahaha.

Hasil telah diagihkan kepada staf wanita pentadbiran FABU dan juga Dekan. Senarai sayuran yang dituai adalah seperti berikut:

  1. Kangkung
  2. Daun pudina
  3. Daun oregano
  4. Daun kesum
  5. Bayam brasil
  6. Pegaga

Ada si daun sup. tapi tunggu dulu. Masih kurus.

Meneroka IoT dan Pertanian Bandar (Urban Farming)

Tajuk Projek: UTMSPC 1.15 :Adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) for developing Urban Farming Monitoring System Mobile Application

Dr. Lee Yoke Lai (Ketua Projek) -Landscape Architecture, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Gs. Dr. Noradila Rusli @ Ruslik- Urban & Regional Planning, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Dr. Nurul Ezaila Alias- School of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

En. Mohd. Razif Bin Mamat @ Daud- Translational Research & Prototype Development Centre, Malaysia Genome Institute

Dr. Noraini Bahari- Landscape Architecture, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Seri Iskandar, Perak

Pada 7 Jun 2022- Selesai proses pemasangan struktur urban farming (HLT 28 UV Solar) sebanyak 2 set di rooftop B12, FABU. Jumlah pasu adalah sebanyak 56.

Cara penanaman:

  1. Padatkan coco peat di bahagian bawah pasu- penting untuk serapan air.
  2. Isi coco peat hingga hampir penuh.
  3. Buat 4/5 lubang- letak benih

Baja: Ada dua jenis, A dan B. Perlu tuang kedua-duanya ke dalam tangki.

Kekerapan: 2 minggu sekali

Sukatan: 2 level- kalau sayur gemuk sangat, kurangkan kepada 1 level.

Pasukan IoT yang diketuai oleh Dr Nurul Ezaila, melawat struktur urban farming ditemani Dr Lee Yoke Lai.

Proses pemindahan dan penanaman benih sayur selesai dilakukan pada 8 Jun. Semoga sayur-sayur tumbuh dengan gemuknya.
