Hello. It works well here in France. I have seen it in North Africa gardens and again in South Spain. With the climate change I decided to use in in my Fontainebleau forest garden, very dry last year and. It is saving time, money and resources. I use 4.4 litres pot for 2 tomatoes plants. I water once a week at most. But my soil is mulched.
Did anybody else see the ollas hooked up to the five gallon bucket??.....I'm asking because this is the method I would like to mimic but I need more information...please and thank you
The open/vented to the atmosphere and unpressurized buckets are used to supply a very low water supply pressure to the ollas. The buckets are filled with water , then depending on how high the bucket is raised above the olllas in the ground will create the desired water pressure, which is a very low pressure. Ever foot of elevation adds about 0.5 psi of pressure. So, if the bucket was raised 6' then it would supply about 3.0 psi of water pressure. This kind of low pressure is usually measured in "inches of water", especially when measuring less than 1.0 psi .
No gas station? How about an electric station? Making the EV created lots of emissions. Moreover, the ground was mined for the production of the EVA's!

Excellent video - simple and easy to understand explanation of what ollas are all about.
Awesome Olla products.
I know this video is four years old but you should really provide a link for buying these ollas from Cutting Edge Ceramics
Just make one instead of wasting money trying to support someone trying to patent a technology thats but used for thousands of years

WOW..... utterly amazed....what a video....I hope it gets a million likes.....
Ollas seem like a good idea.
THANK YOU FOR THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO
I am watching this in July 2022 .but unknowingly I had implemented this 8year back in my rooftop garden to get rid of regular watering Manually
I'm trying with a raised bed. Seems my efforts have made it start raining .
Great video. Thank you.
Where is the mulch to prevent evaporation?
They do a good job of doing that on their own being submerged into the ground, the temperatures are low underneath which stays evaporation
God bless you
Superb
Clever stuff
What is the name of the company that does these Pots? Would like to see if they would ship to Texas.
the name is mentioned at @ 2:07 and again shown at @ 2:32 , Cutting Edge Ceramics.
How could you put a pattern on Olla ? This system has been used centuries ago.
This is not a new technology. It belongs to everybody.
Very food superb 👌👌
FYI you cant patent ancient technology his patent wont fly
I love the idea, but patenting ancient technology? Not sure I agree with that...

You can’t patent a 4000 year old technology bud
