I thought I’d be able to give my big banana olla a rest since rainy season has begun, but we just went a week without rain. These plants are such big drinkers, that the extra irrigation is still helpful. It’s a pleasure watching life congregate around the pot which we fill with #rainwater. When you dig up an olla after a season of gardening, you can see how the roots have wrapped themselves around it, seeking hydration. #OllasByOsa #SustainableGardening #handmade #pottery #irrigation #gardening

@PermaSolarPotter They are so good, right? Years and years ago, I suddenly had an idea. I kept plants on the terrace in terracotta pots without a hole in the bottom; these pots stood in bigger pots I filled with water. These plants were the happiest plants of all! It's a similar thing.
