After seeing some "Ollas" which are terracotta pots based on an ancient design, which are buried into the soil around your plants with just the top visible,then you fill them with water and the water simply seeps out slowly around the roots watering and irrigating where it is needed,I decided to make one.
Just top up the pot with water when empty
So here it is folks.

  • yes does seem too nice to bury in garden :O) ...nice work....and fast 2 :)

  • WOW, Very cool.

  • I have used a pressurised version called a "Wetpot" & an Olla in the past & they both worked great...

    Looking forward to see how they go for you...

    Have a good one...

  • Well, this is what I love avout YouTube...seeing the special skills people have apart from the one's they are known for...and that certainly is a special skill. Lovely.

    Best Wishes, Brendan.

  • Throwing wheels are so much fun!  I totally could have recorded myself to refine my technique, (and see how fast it went) : ) Timelapse would be amazing : )
