Product Information
A simple, elegant, and effective solution to irrigation.
Save time, energy and water with these subterranean irrigation pots. Made of unglazed, low-temperature fired terra cotta and designed to be buried neck deep in the soil with crops planted around them. Fill the olla with water and the moisture is drawn out through the olla’s porous walls as the plants require it. Ollas virtually eliminate wasteful runoff and evaporation that are inherent in surface irrigation, as well as weed growth. Each olla includes a protective lid.
Large Olla: 2.9 gallon/10.98 liter capacity, for a 36 inch diameter planting circle.
3 Simple steps to care for your ollas for winter:
1) At least 2 weeks prior to your first frost, make sure it is empty of water.
2) Make sure the lid is on, then cover it with straw and an inverted bucket for insulation and protection from moisture.
3) If your area is experiences heavy rains followed by freezing temperatures, we recommend digging the olla and storing it in a dry place.
