One of the main components in farming is planting media.Agood planting medium has the criteria that it is able to maintain the moisture contentof the root area, there is sufficient air and the availability of nutrients. This study aims to determine the physical and chemical properties of the growing media mixed with organic matter. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with treatment of planting media types consisting of 100% soil (v) as control, soil mixed with husk charcoal 50%:50% (v/v), soil mixed with cocopeat 50%:50% (v/v) and soil mixed with sawdust 50%:50% (v/v). Parameters observed were physical properties including texture, volume density, particle density and chemical properties including nutrient content of N, P, K, pH, EC and organic matter. On the physical properties, namely the texture of the growing media increased in the value of the fraction of sand and clay, the volume densityandparticle densitydecreased after mixing with organic matter. In the chemical properties of nutrient content (N, P, K), EC and organic matterareincreased. The pH value of soil and soil mixed with rice husk charcoal has a neutral pH criteria, while the planting medium soil mixed with cocopeat and soil mixed with sawdust has a slightly acidic criteria.
