Like @Bryan Rudelich below, I've been seeing those upside down olla designs - this is so much better! I had already purchased the silicone for the other design, but now I don't need it; so glad I saw this before I went to all that trouble. Doing this TODAY - thank you so much. (See - wait two years, and eventually the algorithm will put your video in the top!)

I was going to do the same design - I keep seeing them with the hole on top with the saucer under the pot using silicone to glue them together and I'm why? This is far smarter. Plus you dont have to worry about freezing and they are easily removed. Brilliant olla

I think two pots were glued together, the ollas will be taller, the deep roots can drink water, and can help roots grow deeper. It will be good for trees. This will help vegs.

put the lid on backwards and no shifting around

Why did you cover the seeds with rocks? Should the top soil be moisting first then the seeds.. so they don't float away great job on the olla!!

The gravel mulch is to minimize evaporation. This is a particularly dry climate.

Yes they will

If you would have gotten your soil damp to start with, your seeds would not have floated around the pot,

What kind of stopper are you using?

Gravel mulches are used to retain water in the arid climate where I live. Garden seeds still germinate because it doesn't cover the soil completely.

@@melisarivera2581 That's because I live just over the mountain range from a desert: when the winds blow from that direction in summer we can get heat waves that go to 112 F/44 C with 12% humidity. Minimizing evaporation loss is absolutely critical for the local microclimate. Where you live that might not be as strong a consideration. All gardening advice is local.
