Ollas

Posted in Environment, Gardening, Plants at 3:36 pm by trueepicure

Ollas, Spanish for pots (pronounced oh-yas), are a brilliant, ancient irrigation technique. Check out the Urban Homestead and their step-by-step directions for using ollas. It sounds like they would work well in anything but sandy soil… I wonder how they would do in this ridiculous clay we have in our backyard?

(Thanks to Ravelry Green Thumbs Group for the heads up on these!)
