Due to the increasing price and the issue of nature conservation, using natural stone as a building material causes its own problems. The purpose of this activity is to alternate the natural stone material with synthetic materials so that the natural nuances still appear without disturbing the natural. Artifical raw materials used are coconut shell, reefs are widely obtained around their residence. Method of implementation: 1) Collection of raw materials of portland cement, coconut shell, coral and sand, 2) Manufacture of molding beggisting size 15cm x 30cm (22 pieces), 25cm x 40cm (19 pieces), and 10cm x 40cm (1 piece) with 2 cm of thickness, 3) Preparation of mortar with 2 layer composition, layer A with ratio 2 portland cement: 1 coconut shell: 1 coral, and B with the ratio of mixture 1 portland cemen: 2 sand and sufficient water, 4) Printing by filling the volume of the mold and allowing for 3 days, 5) Opening the mold begisting after casting 3 days, then soaking immersed for 3 days to get desired hardness, 6) Stripping the top layer to get desired texture with an iron grinder, 7) Doing the drying for 1 day and 8) We recommend that teh natural stone is finished with spesial paint for natural stone. The results obtained from the activity are: 1) Obtain the production of artifical natural stone, 2) Perform stripping of the top layer to obtain natural artificial stone texture using 2 cm thick grinding machine, 3) Conducting product marketing.
Bata merah dalam proses pembuatanya bukan hanya kegiatan mencetak tanah, mengeringkan dan membakarnya, tetapi diperlukan campuran dan mesin cetak bata supaya tercipta bata dengan kualitas yang sesuai dengan yang diinginkan. Kegiatan IbM ini melibatkan dua mitra (Bapak Muhtadi dan Zamsari) dengan lokasi pembuatan batu bata di Desa Betungan, adalah satu komplek pembuatan sentra batu bata konvensional (tradisonal). Luaran kegiatan ini diharapkan luaran berupa: 1) Mendapatkan produksi bata dengan menggunakan mesin cetak bata, 2) Mendapatkan batu bata merah yang berkualitas baik. Adapun metode pendekatan yang dilakukan adalah: 1) Model pendampingan masyarakat, 2) Model perencanaan dan perancangan pembuatan produksi batu bata melalui Tahap pengadukan dan pencetakan, Tahap penjemuran, teknik penjemuran yang benar, Tahap pembakaran, Tahap Pengumpulan batu bata, dan tahap pemasaran. 3) Model Tindak Lanjut. Hasil kegiatan adalah: 1) mitra dapat menghasilkan produksi bata merah lobang dengan mesin cetak dengan ukuran bata (80 x 80 x 160) mm, Bata lobang yang dihasilkan mitra memiliki karateristik cukup baik melalui uji sedehana: berat jenis kering: 1.534 kg/m3, berat jenis normal: 1.801 kg/m3, daya serap: 17,38 %, jumlah luasan per 1 m2 : 56 buah/m2, warna : kemerahan, 2) Mitra yang sebelumnya membuat bata konvensional (manual) dimana dalam sehari dengan 2 (dua) orang pekerja mendapat upah 36.000 untuk 300 buah bata, tetapi melalui IbM meningkat produksi 1.500 buah bata/harinya, dengan upah 180.00/perhari, sehingga dengan demikian tingkat kesejahteraan pekerja bisa meningkat dan jumlah bata mitra yang dihasilkan pun semakin meningkat, serta waktu bekerja lebih sedikit, produktifitas mitra menjadi lebih meningkat, 3) Akan tetapi karena keterbatasan modal mitra, proses pembuatan bata menjadi sedikit terlambat. Dikarenakan setelah proses pembakaran, mitra menunggu lakunya bata, uang tersebut dijadikan modal untuk melakukan kegiatan pencetakan berikutnya, padahal kalau mitra memiliki modal lebih, mitra dapat terus melakukan kegiatan pencetakan, pembakaran dan pemasaran yang berkelanjutan. Karenanya sangat disarankan agar mitra mengadakan kerjasama dengan pihak lain sebagai penyandang dana misal Bank, Koperasi, sehingga usaha bata merah lobang dengan mesin cetak bata ini dapat berjalan lebih maju dan berkembang.
Intercropping between Corn and Cayenne Pepper as Processed Farmers in Kabawetan The partner's land is in Kabawetan Village, Kepahiang Regency and has not been used optimally. It is suitable for intercropping between corn and cayenne pepper. How to cultivate partner land to be more productive was the goal of the activity. The method was a community assistance model through training and workshops. The result was an intercropping system was carried out through: 1) land processing, 2) seedling, 3) planting, 4) fertilization, 5) taking care the plants, and 6) harvesting. The production costs consisted of 1) seeds for an area of 12 m x 20 m wass 550.000 IDR, labor for 3 working day was 240,000 IDR, 15 sacks of fertilizer were 300,000 IDR, and mulch was 600,000 IDR. The corn was harvested every 3 months, while the cayenne pepper was harvested every 15 days. The cultivation system setup for 7 years with the used capital was 1,690,000 IDR. The corn planting started from the left side of the bed as a protection for chilies. Corn produced are around 500 plants x 2 kg x 4,000 IDR. Cayenne pepper is planted on the right side of the bed when the corn was 2 months old. The chilies were sowed first before planting on the mulching land. Cayenne pepper harvested every 15 days during the 7 years’ project period. There were about 3000 stems x 1.5 kg stem-1 x 20,000 IDR kg-1. Intercropping system can improve the welfare of partners.
