I planted the ollas 4 days ago next to where tomatoes and pepper will be. They’re connected to a bucket to keep them constantly full. That 5 gallons lasted 4 days
Once covered with mulch it might last 5 days, but I expect once the summer highs hit it might go down to 3. But hey, 5 gallons for 6 plants over a few days will save a bunch on the water bill

Brilliant
Nice I’ve been thinking of doing this. Did you plug the bottom hole as well?
Pretty much the best/ only way to use them.
And yep.
Plug the bottom hole too
Mine eventually filled with roots that grew thru the Terra cotta
The water goes threw the actual clay pots?
