Rice husk, one of the biggest parts that is produced for about 20% -22% from rice plants, have shown a large quantity of potential resources in Indonesia (Prasad, etc., 2001 also cited by Fauziah, etc, 2014) . However, as the number of rice husks keep increasing along with the rice production in Indonesia, the utilization of rice hullprofoundlylimited, such as firing coal, animal feed mixture, and as a base for livestock. Based on those consideration, manifestation of rice husk utilization into other possible improvements is highly required to shift its large undecomposed amount. One form of utilization of rice husks can be implemented in few products based on its function, such as planter. his research explores some product design potential to combine vertical planting with aquaponic methods; mixing rice hull, husk ash, and cement mixture to achieve a good texture; utilizing a lock system that leads to vertically stacked modules;as well as demonstrating the irrigation scenario that used to enhance its symbiosis
