Olla/irrigation bottle, terracotta, Ø 15 x 26.5 cm

This terracotta ‘irrigation bottle’ prevents your (kitchen)garden or patio allotment plants from drying out. Also ideal for during your holidays. Bury the olla up to its neck in your vegetable patch, greenhouse or planter, fill it with water then seal. The porous earthenware slowly releases water into the soil. The plant roots seek out the water as much as they need it, so you never give too much or too little. Also nice: because the olla provides underground watering, you get fewer weeds.
