Dripping Springs OLLA Clay Watering Pot Large 2 Gallon Unglazed Terra Cotta

Description

Save Water and Money! Conserve your water and keep plants growing happy. Using an ancient watering method, this unglazed terra cotta pot is buried underneath the soil and releases water through its pores directly to your plants' roots, so there's less evaporation and runoff. Just fill with water and put on the lid. Ideal for small areas like container gardens, flower beds or large planters Less watering - fill about 2-3 times per week* Lid prevents evaporation and keeps out mosquitoes and other insects Wide neck (5"OD) makes refilling easy, especially as your plants grow Holds up to 2 gallons (water reaches about an 3-4' radius) About 12-7/8"H, bulge about 12"OD 13-3/4 lb Mexico *Note: How often you need to refill depends on the soil type and climate. More Details: Clay pot irrigation has been used for generations as an efficient way to water your garden and household plants. Great for conserving water, saving time and reducing your costly water bill. If you live in an area where water usage is limited, then this is the perfect solution for managing and saving your precious water. How to Use: Bury under the soil. Keep some of the neck exposed, so soil and mulch do not get in it (about 2-3 inches above ground works best). Fill with water. Helpful Hints: You can use the OLLA with any plant, but keep in mind, plants with woody roots (trees and shrubs) may cause the OLLA to crack. (It will still work though.) If you live in a climate where the ground freezes, remove your OLLA for the season (if kept outdoors). Seeds and young plants will need to be watered the traditional way (topical) until their roots developed enough to get water from the OLLA
