What Oya size is right for my garden?

Fits ANY type/size of garden
Available in 3 sizes, water radiates out of the Oya covering 2 feet (Small size), 3 feet (Medium size), or 4 feet (Large size)
If in doubt, size up. You'll get a larger water reservoir and there's no danger of over watering.
Small is 5" x 7" and 1 litre, Medium is 7" x 10" and 3 litres, Large is 10" x 13" and 6.5 litres.

Quantity:

Made from an unique and porous clay formula, the Oya™ Watering Pot saves time watering your garden and reduces water consumption by up to 70%. Instead of watering daily, water just once a week.

After burying the Oya™ Watering Pot among your vegetables or plants, their roots will stretch towards the water source and attach themselves to the outside of the pot. This technique enables your plants to draw exactly the amount of water they need. It's effortless and easy.
