• Spray miracle green organic probiotic starter that has been diluted 10 cc per liter of water into each medium until smooth. Add liquid brown sugar 10 cc "1-2 tablespoons", spraying should be done in the afternoon "after 15.00".
• Place the substrate in a location that is protected from rain but remains open for 24 hours.
• Put each medium into a sack and then place it at the bottom of the nutrition pond, setting the order of placing the media at the bottom of the nutrition culture pond as follows:

1. The sack containing chicken manure is at the very bottom of the pond.
2. The sack containing chopped hay is second from the bottom of the pond.

The second stage includes:

• Prepare chopped banana stems or humps, chopped dry straw, and chopped vegetables and fruit, the need is as much as 5 kg/m3.
• Spray with a starter formula with a dose of 10 cc which is dissolved in one liter of water and added 1-2 tablespoons of liquid brown sugar.
• Put the media into the net or net so that it can be lifted again, put it into the pond.
• These various mixed ingredients can give rise to natural feed, besides that chemical reactions will occur and produce hormones, enzymes, minerals and vitamins.
• Fill the pool for the first time to the maximum height, the pool depth is 1.5 meters with a maximum water filling of 1.45 meters, make sure the pool is protected from rainwater, but sunlight can enter “using a clear plastic roof, add an aerator in the nutrient culture pond”.
