Water your Tucson Garden with an Olla
By Jack Hemingway | | Landscaping Ideas & How-To, Tucson Yard & Garden Articles

The secret is in how the water is distributed to your plant roots - the clay olla is unglazed, allowing water to seep out into the ground. The suction created by roots allows the plants to soak up the water released by the olla. We answer all of your olla questions in this FAQ blog post.
