Ollas by Mark Hillard
Water tends to move vertically through the soil profile. Even with drip, the water percolates downward, eventually moving below the root zone so you have to apply more water on top to keep the root zone moist because the water moves down past the roots. With the ollas, the root zone remains moist because the olla holds the water at the root zone like a little aquifer! The plants drink directly from the surface of the olla and the area immediately around the vessel; the water does not move vertically out of reach of the plants’ root system. For a “how to” on installing ollas, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1zJlwRz-s4 http://runningwaterpottery.wordpress.com/
