The hydroponic technology of the wick system is one of the innovations in vegetable cultivation without soil with the innovation of utilizing used goods and household waste such as styrofoam and used cans as a container for planting. The purpose of this activity is to reduce waste in the community, improve the family's economic capacity, and people's interest in consuming clean and hygienic vegetables in Kualu Village, Tambang District, Kampar Regency. This hydroponic technique is made of relatively inexpensive and affordable materials so that the limitations of people's financial capabilities can be overcome. This system is a hydroponic system that uses axes to absorb organic nutrients.
