Ollas

Clay Pot Irrigation, an ancient, efficient watering system, is making a huge comeback as gardeners learn about its value. Very simply, clay pot irrigation consists of burying an organic unglazed clay pot, called an olla, in the ground up to the neck and filling with water. Soil moisture tension waters the plants around it as needed, saving up to 70 percent in water use. Use a third less fertilizer in the olla. A Dripping Springs Olla can water a 36-inch diameter circle for three to _ve days in a garden, raised bed or container.
