Olla Water System
Introducing the Olla Watering System for Home Gardens
If you haven’t yet come across the Olla Watering system, you’re in for a treat. Popular in regions prioritizing water conservation, this system offers efficient irrigation, ensuring your plants receive the moisture they need without wastage or the risk of harming delicate foliage.
What exactly is an Olla?
Originating as an ancient watering technique for crops, an Olla consists of unglazed clay pots buried in the soil and filled with water. Dating back over 2000 years, evidence suggests its use in various civilizations including China and Ancient Rome.
Where can you apply the Olla method?
The versatility of Ollas makes them suitable for any garden or crop irrigation needs, from large plots to small containers. The size of the Olla can be adjusted according to the area being watered.
Why opt for an Olla?
Aside from its historical significance, the Olla system significantly reduces water wastage while providing consistent moisture to the soil. Combining traditional clay pots with modern drip systems ensures efficient water delivery directly to plant roots.
How does the Olla function?
Operating on the principle of osmosis, water gradually seeps out from the Olla into the surrounding soil, maintaining optimal moisture levels for plant roots. Keeping the Olla filled ensures continuous hydration, while covering it prevents debris and pests from interfering.
