Olla irrigation jug 1.5 liter

Do you want irrigation in the (vegetable) garden during a weekend away or warm summer days? Then the Olla irrigation jug is the solution!

This Olla is a porous terracotta jug. This model has been used for centuries as a smart way of irrigation. The Olla is buried up to the neck in the ground between the plants and you fill it with water once or twice a week (depending on drought, temperature and water needs of the plant). The plant roots will grow towards the pot and extract water from the pot. Because the jug is porous, it slowly releases water to the soil around it when it is dry. If the soil is moist, the water stays in. The water jug ​​can be closed with a cap, which prevents evaporation and saves you up to 70% on your water consumption. The water also does not pollute and mosquitoes, for example, cannot get to it to lay their eggs. The Olla is ideal for use in flower boxes, vegetable gardens and greenhouses. The best time to place an Olla is planting time. This allows the roots of the plants to develop optimally in the direction of the Olla. One Olla provides water to the plants that are approximately half a square meter around it. We recommend that you take the Olla out of the ground before the first frost and store it in a dry and frost-free place.
