Insights
Ollas (or oyas) are a traditional, natural way to save water and time, and in turn, help your plants thrive. This is achieved through a process called “soil moisture tension”, where when the soil around the olla is dry, the water is pulled out through the pot’s ‘pores’ to satisfy thirsty roots.
