Abstract
The problem of rice husk waste as a result of rice processing is a major problem in Sanrego Village, especially in the Pada Elo' Farmer Group. The accumulation of rice husk waste while the land area to accommodate a lot of rice husk waste during the harvest season forced the farmer groups to burn it. However, another problem that arises is the emergence of air pollution and the results of burning rice husk waste are useless because they are not used properly. Therefore, this community service will process the potential of rice husk waste into husk charcoal by providing information, knowledge, and skills on how to process rice husk waste into rice husk charcoal which can be used as an alternative media for ornamental plants which are currently the prima donna. The implementation method consists of three stages, namely Tudang Sipulung, Mario-rio, and Mappesabbi which are taken from the Bugis tradition of having a philosophy of working together, thus directing farmer groups to participate and be fully involved (participatory by doing). The results obtained by the average partner member experienced an 82,5% increase in information and knowledge aspects as well as skills and were able to grow their entrepreneurial spirit, especially processing rice husk waste.

Summary
Ornamental plants are the prima donna today, where almost all circles and various areas are busy collecting certain types of flowers to beautify the yard and even the terrace of the house. Low optimization of rice husks has resulted in the residents of Sanrego Village who have rice mills to burn piles of rice husk waste. This triggers air pollution which can cause health. The lack of counseling and access to information on processing rice husk waste has resulted in the residents of Sanrego Village including partners taking inappropriate ways to reduce the pile of rice husk waste. The purpose of implementing this community service is to provide knowledge and skills to the residents of Sanrego Village, especially to the Pada Elo' Farmer Group in optimizing the utilization of rice husk waste through processing potential rice husk waste which can be utilized as a planting medium in farming, such as media planting for ornamental purposes
