Two simple ways to make your own ollas. These traditional self-watering vessels are low-tech, easy to DIY, and will help keep plants watered in the driest conditions. The way it works is that you bury the pots into the ground near plants that need regular watering. Top up the water in the vessel rather than the soil around the plant. Moisture seeps through the terracotta, and eventually, the plant's roots will grow right up to the pot. They'll suck moisture directly from it.
The first way to make an Olla takes only a few minutes, and the second more permanent DIY takes a day. You can also use a cork to fill the hole, as you can see in my olla update video for using these self-watering pots outside in the garden: [ Ссылка ]
