Fun For Gardening Nerds!
I had always wanted to try gardening with ollas. I bought several of these for my vegetable container gardens on my deck. This outfit produces the big vessels I don't often see in local nurseries where I buy smaller vessels. These ollas  have held up pretty well after several years. I store them in my shed for the winter which I think helps with freezing temperatures. These are great for the hot and dry southwest climate where I live. I use a lot less water, and the water goes directly to the plants. This means less evaporation, less weeds, and less likelihood of overwatering since the plants take only what they need.. Also, I can fill them before I leave for a short trip, knowing my vegetables will be fine when I return.  Sometimes I have bought the one with the lid and the lids are very pretty. Other times I buy one without the lid and just put an old saucer on the top. I really have a lot of fun experimenting with these!
