Garden Olla Watering Pot
Better Growth
Save Water
Save Time
Reduce Weeds
An ancient form of localized plant irrigation, an Olla Watering Pots are porous clay pots. When filled with water, moisture seeps out slowly through the walls to water your plants right at the roots.
Once established, the roots of your plants will instinctively grow towards the water source (you’ll need to surface water also for the first couple weeks). Over time the roots attach themselves to the outside of the olla watering pot and draw water out as they need it. They take just what they need—no more, no less.
How Olla Watering Pots work
Simple to use: just bury them in your garden, fill them with water, and watch your plants grow!
What Plants Grow Best With Olla Watering Pots?
Olla watering pots work best with plants that have fibrous root system (adventitious root system) and an above ground canopy. The more creeping the roots, the better they’ll be able to grow to find the Olla pot.
We’ve seen the best results with:
Tomatoes, bell peppers, chilli peppers, potatoes (and most nightshades), cucumbers, salad greens, kale, herbs, edible flowers, gourds, melons, squash, beans, peas, corn…
Plants with taproot systems (one primary root) like carrots, beets, radishes, parsnips are less likely to work with Olla pots.
And to be clear, Olla pots aren’t used to sprout or germinate seeds. Seeds and transplants need to be surface watered until the root system has developed enough to reach for the Olla pot for regular (and efficient) watering.
