#5. Buried Clay Pot Watering (Olla Method)
This ancient watering technique uses porous terracotta pots to provide slow, consistent hydration. It’s great for vegetable gardens, flower beds, and even shrubs. A single buried pot can water plants for weeks at a time!
Materials Needed
- An unglazed terracotta pot with a small drainage hole
- A small rock or plate to cover the top
- Water
Step-by-Step Guide
- Dig a hole near your plants and bury the terracotta pot, leaving only the rim visible.
- Fill the pot with water.
- Cover the top with a small plate or rock to reduce evaporation.
- Over time, water will slowly seep through the porous clay, keeping the surrounding soil moist.
- Refill as needed, depending on weather conditions, it may last up to three weeks before needing more water.
This method is ideal for vegetable gardens, as it targets deep roots and minimizes surface evaporation.
