This research was carried out at The Asahan University, Faculty of Agriculture Experimental Garden, Asahan District, North Sumatera Province with a height of 12 meters above sea level, This research was conducted at the beginning of March 2018 and ended in April2018. The Ingredients used are Banana Peel Compost, Water Hyacinth Bokashi, Lettuce seeds (Lactuca Sativa L.) varietas Grand Rapids, Topsoil soil, Water, Solution EM – 4. The Design used  in this research was a Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD),The First factor in providing Banana peel Compost consists of 4 levels : P1= 10 ton/ha (1 kg/plot) , P2= 20  ton/ha (2 kg/plot), P3 = 30ton/ha (3 kg/plot), P4= 40 ton/ha (4 kg/plot). The Second Factor is Water Bokashi Hyacinth (E) consists of 3 levels : E1 = 0 ton/ha(0.kg/plot),E2= 10 ton/ha(1.kg/plot), E3 = 20 ton/ha(2.kg/ha), W4 = 30 ton/ha(.kg/plot). Parameter s observed were plant height,  number of leaves, production of sample crops, production of each plot. Statistical Analysis showed that giving compost Banana Peel and Water Bokashi  Hyacinth had a significant effect on all observed parameters .
