Shipment of ollas arrive at the urban homestead
With temperatures in the upper 80’s this week, garden work is in full swing.
Getting ready for the spring plantings with a shipment of ollas that were delivered on Monday. This will be our third season integrating the ancient, yet very efficient, clay pot irrigation method in the urban farm.
In fact, it’s been surprisingly successful experiment. Plants are noticeably healthier and their growing season extending when planted near the submerged ollas. A fellow gardener/urban homesteader also had similar observations.
Using ollas in containers
He sent us photos (shown above) of the ollas in his urban patio container garden and said that the broccoli which were planted with the ollas were noticeably bigger and healthier. Other gardeners and olla users have had similar stories and growing experiences.
Anyone have similar observations? Care to share?

Hello , I am from India. I read your article ‘Using ollas in containers’ and was amased with your results. I have decided to try it myself here. Do you use such large Ollas in container ? How do you water each one – each one separately ?
Thanks for sharing the info,
