What is the history of Olla pots?

Burying unglazed clay pots filled with water is an ancient method of plant irrigation. Clay vessels or pots made from low fire terra cotta clay are porous enough to allow water to pass through them when buried in soil. The word Olla is the Spanish name for 'pot'. There is also evidence of Olla pots being used in the first century BC in Chinese culture.

Why Should I Use An Olla Waterpot™ in My Urban Garden? 

• Water is delivered directly to the root zone 
• Eliminates runoff and evaporation SAVES WATER!
• Provides plants with steady moisture 
• Low tech and easy to use 
• No need for water pressure or electricity or water filters

Where do I bury an Olla Pot? 

Plants with long roots, such as tomatoes, can be placed furthest from the centre. Plants with shorter roots should be placed closer to the Waterpot. This is a naturally automatic system, if it has been raining, the soil is wet so there is no moisture tension and the pots don’t release any water. The plants get just what they need, right where they need it with no gadgets or sensors required!
