This is the second part to last weeks video. How to make your own olla! Save money and water. I walk you step by step on how to make your olla to where to place it in the garden. You will get the results of how the one I made works and if its worth making your own.
List of materials:
6″ unglazed clay pot
6″ unglazed clay saucer
Small tube of silicone for outdoor use
Cork or rock
We purchased our materials from our local big box hardware store. They cost around $15 to make two olla.

Check out last weeks video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSnoF5M5XSo&t=335s What do all of you do to save water in a dry climate? Love to hear what you do in your gardens.
Another tip…squirrels eat corks! Or at least tear them to pieces lol
Hello, my new Friend! 🙋♀️🎉
Good DIY and thanks for sharing
Northern MN here, I don't know where you live but I envy you the fact that it is still nice and green. I live in a sandy pine forest area, was thinking of trying Olla's.. the ground turns to cement in the summer LOL… Thanks for the tutorial!
This is wonderful that I found your channel. I had been looking at these on a YT channel and I checked the price and it was not what I wanted to spend. This is very reasonable and I love how easy it is. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Great idea! Thx.
Thank you for sharing. I have a 65 gal fabric pot and knew ther was a better way of watering without using drip etc. I took 2 large unglazed pots and siliconed them together with their widest openings. Added some soil on the bottom then filled it up with raised bed soil and compost. It probable holds about 2-3 gallons of water and only water about 1 to 2 times a week based on how hot it is. To cover the hole on top I just used a small saucer that fits over the edge of the pot so mosquitoes etc can’t get in. Works amazingly. Lola’s are crazy priced and couldn’t ever find one under $65 for small ones so I’d have to buy several to do what just one large one does. So glad you shared this!
Thank you. If ever I have another garden, this is what I will do.
Random that this would show up on my feed. YouTube resurgence of actual interesting content from random creators? We can only hope -_-
Anyways, this looks like a great idea! I have several beds I need to completely overhaul over the winter.
Can they be used in large containers &/or grow wicking beds?
Great video I’m going to make some
Your yard is really pretty ❤
