Olla

A clay pot with a narrow neck and bulging body used as a watering technique that reduces evaporation and makes water available where the roots need it. The wider part of the olla is buried in the soil, with the narrow opening remaining above soil level. Fill the olla with water regularly, and it seeps out through the porous wall of the pot into the surrounding soil and root zone of the plant. I use ollas from Growoya. Use code GROWING to save.
