Olla pots are an irrigation system used in gardening that have been utilised for centuries.
Olla, a Spanish word for pot, is an ancient practice of burying unglazed "low fired" clay pots near plants to gradually release water into the soil right at the root zone. This method of irrigation provides a slow and efficient means of watering your plants.
Olla Pots work best with plants whose roots are string- or fiber-like, such as corn, herbs, beans, fruit trees, and shrubs. Although other plants may also be suitable, plants with tap roots like carrots and beetroot are not recommended.
Olla pots are a vital tool for water conservation, especially in dry climates. This sustainable method of irrigation helps maintain healthy gardens and can be used in both traditional and modern gardening practices.
The efficacy of Olla pots relies on variables such as soil type, climate, and your plants' specific watering requirements. Test it out and witness the results!

1. Bury the Olla Pot- Dig a hole and place the unglazed clay pot in it, with the opening above the ground to allow for refilling. The porous structure of the clay will enable the water to gradually seep out into the soil.
2. Choose Your Plants - Olla pots are especially beneficial for plants requiring sustained moisture levels like veggies, herbs, and select blossoms.
3. Efficiency- Olla irrigation is a highly effective technique, reducing water loss from evaporation or runoff. The system also minimises the risk of overwatering, with plants gaining access to water as needed.
4. Slow Watering - As the surrounding soil dries, water from the Olla Pot is drawn into the root zone of the plants, providing a regular supply of moisture and cutting down on manual watering.
These Olla Pots are available in either 2.5L or 3.5L capacity (approximate volumes).

I initially bought this product from a company on East coast but happy to find it in a store in Perth. My husband has his own business and it always feels good to support other small businesses.
Ordered 2 of these sprinklers. They are awesome for doing around edges. They put out a great spray. Very happy and would highly recommend them.

I purchased and set up my fly trap in Sept/Spring for my lime tree. Within a few hours of setting it up, fruit flies started lingering around it. When I checked on it the next day (<24h) there were already a few trapped in the liquid. Very effective product - looks like it will be handy in managing fruit flies in my garden this year.
no problems with anything
