I need a solution that is self watering from rain water. I am wondering if glueing the bottoms of two pots together an sealing the lower pots mouth would double the capacity and allow it to retain rain water.

A great job with the video and explaining everything. ...but for me who likes it super simple and doesn't like products whose ingredients are suspect, I would just use the pot turned upside down into it's lid, use extra long cork for the hole plug and completely submerge the olla in the soil and the compression of the dirt around pot would slow drainage enough that it would still wick upward and slowly release. ?

If they are not adhered together the water would rush out quickly and not stay in the pot very long.

So cool! I want to make some with 2 pots with their tops glued together. I will be filling it with a hose so I was thinking about using a piece of pipe just smaller than the drain hole with a doughnut shaped piece of styrofoam glued around the bottom of it. So the pipe I use to fill it, is the indicator!

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 ?
@JimTcarver3 жыл бұрын
Bart I have used them season after season with no issues. Our water must not be as high in minerals as where you reside.
@joshmullins73933 жыл бұрын
Hey Bart, that's exactly what you want them to do 👍 the damp look is the water working its way through the porous texture of the terracotta and the roots will grow toward this.

I really like this idea -- I'm planning on making with smaller diameter pots and using pvc through the stack (with tons of holes of course) for my tower garden, that way I can water through the top. I'll use your method with the very top pot and probably stick a butterfly on top. Thanks so much for posting this. I plan on sharing!

Love this, exactly what I've been looking for, I've already made my first one, but I placed a artificial flower on the top of mine, and a pink pong ball inside instead of the foam... was afraid that with time the foam would start to deteriorate and start to clog up my ollas... plus its what I had on hand. Neither the pink pong ball or flower were heavy that it would affect the end result. The flower makes my veggie garden look darling... I think some bees don't like my sense of humor, it has attracted them but to only be dissapointed... 😂 to realize they aren't real... do have real flowers round for them to enjoy so at the end of the day the bees and I are happy.

I've been reading up on the net on toxicity and will be using aquarium grade silicone as glue as it is uncertain how carcinogenic polyurethane (base of the glue you use) is when hardened and in contact with water at all time. Given the root systems will be in direct contact with the olla I'm not going to gamble. Also, many PU glues contain a lot of other chemicals that are terribly bad for the soil and plant life. Be sure to read up close on toxicity on all the components of the glue before you are using it!
