Two simple ways to make your own Ollas. These traditional self-watering vessels are low-tech, easy to DIY, and will keep plants watered in the driest conditions.
You bury the pots into the ground near plants that need regular watering and then top up the water in the vessel rather than the soil around the plant.
The first way to make an Olla takes only a few minutes and the second more permanent DIY takes a day.
