Merci beaucoup! Very innovative & interesting. I love also your white greenhouse. Thanks again from France!

very clever the holding water "tank" thank you for sharing knowledge.

This was great! Loved how neat and tucked way it all was. Definitely going to try this on the farm. Thinking this might be a great way to establish trees too, could potentially do a water reservoir/tree support in one!

Thank you for Sharing ... thats a really great system

Wow your backyard looks beautiful! I’m looking into Oilas this year and will used them for the forest time after I glue them.

Excellent idea, congratulations.

Thanks for sharing!! I plan to do a small raised garden for my grandson to learn about gardening!! I will definitely incorporate some of your ideas into my plan!! Take care!

For monster tree tomato plants use Epsom Salts.

Good Job !!

Does Anyone know what happened to this guy? He is quite good, hoping that he is still around, perhaps another channel? Most of his posts are 6 years and Older

boss technique man, im going to try it on my garden

I am really digging on these Ollas that you are working with. Thinking I should try an olla tote for one of my peppers ... Looking good!

JT Bear I'd like to see that :) Thanks for sharing.

HI! Thank you for sharing this method. I tried and would like you to point out what did I do wrong. My 1st pot and 3rd pot was filled with water. But not my middle 2nd pot. I use the same T connector but on a smaller scale. 4mm diameter.

Nice info

One caveat. If you are the kind of person that might forget to fill the waterer, then this system is probably not for you. When the clay pots get empty, they will work in reverse and pull moisture from the surrounding area and compete with the plants.

You can make a larger reservoir or I've also seen people put these up to a water system like a drip irrigation Forgetting to water your garden is like forgetting to eat

That's cool

Why do use the drip emitters? Do they help ensure even filling of the pots?

Why not use a half wine barrel as a stand and then set a pickle barrel on it as your water reservoir to feed the ollas? That ought to water your plants for a longer period of time.

It's so meticulous it's beautiful! I would add a filter (mesh or anything) at the intake of your system to prevent it from getting plugged :) If the main stem of your Olla system was raised on a sort of T system, gravity would help evenly pull the water into all your ollas *Sudbscribed*

this is a very helpful tutorial but I had to change it to 1.25 playback speed because I could not handle all the pauses and "um, um, um."

We also make Ollas, with lids . . . if you don't want to make them yourself! www.onewintrynightollas.com/store/p1/One_Olla_with_lid__-1.25_Gallon_Garden_Irrigation_Pot-__Gardener_Gift.html

If it was connected to a large water butt would it just keep flowing and overflow the bed or can the terracotta regulate the pressure well enough to stop it flooding?

How many square foot does each olla pot cover for you? Trying set up a system myself!

How does the air get out when you go to refill this? It has to get pushed out somehow ?

Hi..At the bottom of olla where water is discharged, 'how much is the wider / open ' and how much litres of water delivered by ollas...Is needed to be explained by you, guy.. Please add..

very nice video

what about air in the system and so on?

What about removing air pressure out of these pots.

Can u show how u make the reservoirs? Also, what glue should I use to make the ollas?

+Constance lovejoy I posted a couple of videos on making ollas. Here's the most recent kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2xoxLKEnpO_mKw.html I'll be sure to include instructions on how to make the reservoir in a future video.

Air bleed when filling?

I have looked a lot at KZread and ollas. Everyone has done the same, sealed the hole at the bottom and have the 2 minihose going in and out to the next olla through the other hole on the top. Would it not be better to have it like this... Why not have them vertically/ lying down instead ? 1 hose goes in the hole on the side getting water and the hose goes out of the other hole to feed the next one. I will try and do that

It would take too long for the olla at the end of the line to get water unless you just used a large hose without any drippers or bottle necks of any sort.

Use one line per ollas and 'T' it off a larger supply line. Each gets what it needs.

Wondering if I manually refill say 2 Ollas, how often will I have to refill - every 2-3 days? I will try put some Ollas in ground.

That depends on the size of your ollas and climatic conditions in your zone.

rule of thumb: 1 fruiting tomato plant uses about 1 quart of water a day on average. soil that is too sandy or not mulched will consume HUGE amounts of water each day. 1 normal rose bush can use a whopping FIVE gallons of water a day! Ollas must be big enough (aka enough surface area) to leech out the required amount of water for the plants around it. And remember unless you seal the bottom of those the water will leach out there and not where you want it thus wasting water. Remember, water seeks it's own level and gravity pulls it down. Best to be moist near the top than the bottom. When in doubt then use MORE ollas not bigger ones. Clayola (NOT CRAYOLA) has a pretty neat system. Reason? Say tomato plants - if you direct seed them they will make 5 foot tap roots. But most people start them indoors or buy them and that kills off the tap root as soon as you transplant them resulting in a more shallow root system. The addition of Mykos (Extreme Gardening) can be VERY beneficial too. Some like Great White but I have seen reviews in both directions and it is very expensive.

when i test pots like that, plugging up the hole and putting water in a pot, i can see that after a while, the pot has changed color on the outside. It looks 'damp' but i don't see any water-drops or something... So, i'm wondering is this'll work. The pots are terracotta and are unglazed. Is this normal and is this the case with your pots too ?

If it looks damp, then it is working. Your plants roots will make their way to the pot.

Why does your volume keep going in and out? You go from being very clear and easy to understand, to sounding very muffled and far away, and back again, etc...

Plant your tomatoes sideways and you will get more fruit

SIX ollas for 2 plants?

why only two tomato plants you have lots of space?
