Esschert Design Olla Irrigation Pot, 1 item

Revive an ancient technique - and grow plants with less water with this ceramic planter!

Unglazed clay vessels from long-forgotten ancient gardens have been found from China to South America. Even today, these so-called "ollas" are used all over the world, especially in traditional cultures.

Simply bury the pot between plants in a vegetable garden, bed or planter and fill with water. The roots of the plants draw water out of the pot. When the soil is moist, the pot will stop giving off water. Depending on the amount of water the plants use, the pot can be refilled once or twice a week. Save up to 70% of the garden water consumption.

The Olla has a watering range of about 50cm (depending on the soil conditions and the moisture content of the soil).

• Ideal for gardens, vegetable gardens, window boxes and flower beds
• No over- or under-watering possible
• Sometimes ensures fewer weeds & fewer snails
• Can improve soil structure
• Easy to use

The Olla can be sealed with the supplied cork, preventing water from evaporating.
