What is an olla?
An olla is an unglazed clay pot fired at a low temperature. This causes the pot to remain porous. The olla is buried in ground with neck exposed and periodically filled with water. The water seeps into the soil at a rate that provides adjacent plants with a constant water source at the roots.An olla is a good way to save water.
Here is a video of how we made our own olla:
