Olla update: I’ve had my #garden ollas in place for 2 weeks now and they are still half to 2/3 full of water. The seedlings around them have grown steadily. We’ve had light rain once in the last two weeks. The true test will be when temperatures start to soar, but so far this #irrigation method has been impressively easy & efficient. It’s wild to know that an #ancienttechnology can still be so useful and relevant. I love clay! #pottery #ceramics #keramik #permaculture #gardening #ollasbyosa

Two terracotta pots with lids. The one on the left is larger than the one on the right. They both are curved forms with a narrower neck decorated with textured rings. Each has a lid that features carved geometric pattern decoration. The background is plain, sage green.

A photo of the mouth of an olla that has been submerged in a garden bed. There are mulch and seedlings surrounding it. My hand holding the olla lid is in the foreground, slightly blurred.

Also, for those who harvest rainwater, it’s exciting to be able to deliver that water directly to plant roots in an efficient way. #permaculture
