The use of yard was conducted by most of the people of Kapudang, Kasepuhan Karang to plant vegetables and medicinal plants. The practice of land use was done more than five years ago, in an effort to meet the needs of vegetables in the village. Thus affirmed by the head of RT Kampung Kapudang, Sapiin, at his home (Saturday, 14/10).

Kapudang Village is one of the villages that exists in the Jagaraksa village. This village is located 300m from the Cawisan Karang Forest. Most of the houses have plants tidily planted on a wood or bamboo. To continue the practice of this garden, the contribution of both women and men have equally important roles. Both of them will take care of the plants together. As for example, every morning, men would water the plants while the women prepare for food, whereas every afternoon women would water the plants while the men are still working in the field.

Citizens use organic fertilizers to take care of their plants. Using the mixture of charcoal, hay, and manure, they would process them into fertilizers.
