Still talking about agriculture, there are many things that are very interesting here. Before going further I would like to invite my fellow steemians @humaidi, @f2i5 and @mini80 to participate in the challenge “SEC | S20W5: "Planting & Care".

Since Indonesia is a tropical country, there are two seasons here: the dry season and the rainy season. The rainy season is between November and March while the dry season is between April and October. However, there are currently weather changes in some areas that result in extreme rainfall and flooding. This is a weather change that cannot be predicted. So that the good time to plant crops is from November to March. In this month, the rain usually does not fall in high intensity.

What is the importance of planting trees in the right place and in which places can trees be planted?

Plants can be grown in certain areas with soil contours that contain a lot of nutrients. And of course there are certain types of soil that are planted with certain plants as well. For example, rice plants are very suitable for planting in the lowlands. Although there are certain varieties that are suitable for planting in the highlands. And of course the planting time is also very influential on certain plants, although not so significant.

However, we should pay attention to the nutrients contained in the soil, in other words, coconut plants are not suitable for planting in highland areas with cold temperatures and the contours of the soil are also not favorable for planting these plants.

What kind of fertilizers or organic fertilizers should be used to prepare the soil before planting?

There are several fertilizers that can be used as an alternative before planting the plants. This will affect the growth of roots and other factors that cause the plants to grow at their best.

Organic fertilizer is the main thing that is highly recommended when we are going to grow plants. It is very important to apply this type of fertilizer at certain times.

Manure is a very effective fertilizer to be applied to the hole where the plants will be planted. This type of fertilizer is a fertilizer that is very easily absorbed by the soil and also plants. It does not require a long process to be absorbed by the plant so that it thrives.

There are also phosphate fertilizers that can be sprinkled on the planting hole, but we must pay attention to the specific type of phosphate fertilizer that can be used, not just any phosphate fertilizer can be used. In essence, we can use Triple super phosphate, Rock phosphate, and super phosphate 36. These are types of phosphate that are very easy to obtain.

Banana peels and some other types of fruit peels can be used in the hole that we will plant. Even leaves that are easy to find and decay quickly can be used before planting.

What is the correct method of using pesticides and fungicides for gardening and which pesticides/fungicides can be used?

There are many types of pesticides that we can use in gardening. But we must pay attention to the effects that arise from the use of pesticides. It is better to use pesticides derived from vegetable materials, especially to eradicate pests that attack our plants. Tobacco tuba is a type of environmentally friendly pesticide that we can use to get rid of certain pests.

There are also pesticides used to get rid of mold or mites that are derived from garlic extract or coconut oil. Of course, we must know the dosage that is good to use, so that the plants we grow can develop well and of course can produce according to our expectations.

In addition, there are many pesticides available in the market that we can use to get rid of the pests that plague our plants. Generally, choose those that do not cause long-term effects on our bodies. So when we will spray using artificial pesticides, pay attention to the dose, the right target, the quality and the concentration it contains. And of course also pay attention to the time of spraying.

What home remedies can be used to protect plants for the roof or back garden?

There are several ways we can take care of the plants we grow in our yard. One of them is by mixing vinegar with water, this is useful for treating plants from plant pests.

We can also use salt water solution or garlic extract to protect plants from pests.

Cleaning plant containers or around the plants we grow and even spraying fertilizer mixed with water at a low concentration level that will make our plants grow fertile and free from pests. However, we should not do this continuously especially when rainfall is very high.

In addition, we must also pay attention to the ideal plants as the plants we grow, do the appropriate watering, even sunlight is an influence on the plants we grow. There are things that we should not forget, namely the location of planting and of course good plant care.

All of them are very important for us, when we want to grow plants even on small land. This is an experience that may still be lacking.

Thanks to all steemit friends who have stopped by my post. Greetings @muzack1.
