Olla Irrigation Pot

Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Efficiency

Ollas (pronounced "oy-yah") are un-glazed porous clay pots buried in the soil with the neck exposed. Once filled, the water seeps into the soil by capillary flow at a rate that provides nearby plants with a constant water source directly at the roots where they need it.
