Olla pots are an irrigation system used in gardening that have been utilised for centuries.
Olla, a Spanish word for pot, is an ancient practice of burying unglazed "low fired" clay pots near plants to gradually release water into the soil right at the root zone. This method of irrigation provides a slow and efficient means of watering your plants.
Olla Pots work best with plants whose roots are string- or fiber-like, such as corn, herbs, beans, fruit trees, and shrubs. Although other plants may also be suitable, plants with tap roots like carrots and beetroot are not recommended.
Olla pots are a vital tool for water conservation, especially in dry climates. This sustainable method of irrigation helps maintain healthy gardens and can be used in both traditional and modern gardening practices.
The efficacy of Olla pots relies on variables such as soil type, climate, and your plants' specific watering requirements. Test it out and witness the results!

1. Bury the Olla Pot- Dig a hole and place the unglazed clay pot in it, with the opening above the ground to allow for refilling. The porous structure of the clay will enable the water to gradually seep out into the soil.
2. Choose Your Plants - Olla pots are especially beneficial for plants requiring sustained moisture levels like veggies, herbs, and select blossoms.
3. Efficiency- Olla irrigation is a highly effective technique, reducing water loss from evaporation or runoff. The system also minimises the risk of overwatering, with plants gaining access to water as needed.
4. Slow Watering - As the surrounding soil dries, water from the Olla Pot is drawn into the root zone of the plants, providing a regular supply of moisture and cutting down on manual watering.
These Olla Pots are available in either 2.5L or 3.5L capacity (approximate volumes).

My naturopath recommended Brocolli sprouts and I love them so much. I also brought one of Urban Revolution sprouting jar and that is marvellous. Highly recommend both.
10 out of 10 for sustainability and respect for the planet, but don’t forget the really friendly and welcoming ‘service with a smile’. Makes a heck of a difference 👍🥇
For the price it is a very good product,
This sprinkler is a fantastic product. Well made and extremely strong. Perfect for small corner gardens. Excellent Spray Pattern
Got sick of plastic pegs breaking in my hands every couple of months so gave stainless steel pegs a go and I love them, no rust, hold the clothes perfectly and the bigger pegs are great for large items . Won’t be buying any others from here on they withstand thunderstorms winds – hail
These are a fabulous addition to the garden- I have put near one of my ponds and they add height whilst supporting new plants. They are sculptural and outer leaves move gently in the wind. I love them
Seeing green shoots a few days after planting. Very happy so far.
Hydrofish is a great product, as it gives excellent results within a short space of time for a modest outlay. I highly recommend it. The whole garden really thrives on it, and the colours of the flowers are vibrant.
Perfect garden tool with many uses, the wifey was very happy with the knife 👍
Happy with an option for a gift card as a present. Received the voucher immediately via email. So all good
It’s by far the best way to dispose of what our furry friend doesn’t need anymore.. clean- efficient- easy to install and use.. actually looks great in the garden as no-one knows what it is until I tell them . No plastic bags in the bin after our walks and nothing left around the yard as it’s collected daily. Brilliance at its best
Beautiful item that is really practical - it does what it says! I placed this in an enormous pot that struggles on hot days - this has made a notable difference
S. so sensible...water directed exactly where needed...spreads out in forward fan shape and water for narrow beds and no water wasted.
