This is such a cool method. I've never heard of it. I'm definitely trying this in my garden. It's amazing! Thanks so much for sharing.

They look great, I had never even heard of them before...but that probably has something to do with being in a high rainfall area where my plants are more prone to drowning!

Very useful information. I've been gardening for most of 40 years, but didn't know about ollas. Thanks.

I have never used ollas before, but I had an idea. You could run a tube along your garden, with a smaller tube going down into each ollas (is "ollas" both singular and plural?) and the end of the main tube attached to a sealed bottle. As long as the entire system was water-tight, the ollas would automatically refill as their water level went below the level of the tube. Then you'd only need to refill the one big bottle when it got low. It's the same principle that automatical pet watering cans use.

You are welcome Becky. It was a good question worth finding the answer to direct from the company.
