Utilization of distilled patchouli waste is still very limited, so to optimize it, research is carried out on the manufacture of granule compost from patchouli solid waste trough 3 stages of activity. First aerobic fermentation process of Aceh Jaya patchouli solid waste with variations in the ratio of patchouli solid waste and tofu industrial liquid waste used, namely 1:1; 1:3; and 1:5 then the ratio between waste and bioactivator EM4 is 1:3%; 1:5%; and 1:7%. The second process of Enrico-Fermi fertilizer granulation using granule adhesive, namely tapioca flour with the ratio between Enrico-Fermi fertilizer and adhesive material is 2:1. The three processes of testing the Enrico-Fermi material on patchouli plant growth. The results showed that the highest NPK content in the Enrico-Fermi fertilizer was obtained at the ratio between patchouli waste and tofu liquid waste, namely 1:3 and the addition of EM4 with 7% EM-4 concentrations, namely 5.83% nitrogen, 1.91% phosphorus. and 3.46% potassium. The yield of Enrico-Fermi granule fertilizer was 71.43%. The response of plants to Enrico-Fermi fertilizer resulted in an increase in plant stem height of 5.7 cm, 16 leaves and 3 branches.
