This project aims to study the feasibility of using organic waste from beach areas as planting materials, focusing on analyzing the properties of organic waste from the beach to assess its suitability for planting. The planting materials must be rich in minerals and have a soil structure conducive to growth. The experiment involved collecting organic waste samples from the beach, preparing the planting material, and testing the pH, main nutrient levels (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), organic matter content, and carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (C/N Ratio). The appropriate formula was adjusted, and the growth of plants in the planting material derived from organic waste was compared with that in standard planting materials. The study found that the planting medium made from organic waste had a pH level within the appropriate range after improvement and contained sufficient nutrients for plant growth, particularly high levels of phosphorus and organic matter, which positively affected plant growth. Therefore, organic waste from beach areas can be improved and used as an effective planting medium. It contains sufficient minerals for plant growth, which not only helps reduce the amount of waste that causes pollution but promotes the sustainable use of resources in agriculture.
