Pottery by Osa

I was able to regain my wheel throwing abilities and produce my first batch of ollas for the year. I began making these garden irrigation tools last year, right around the time I joined Mastodon. We were experiencing drought (as we are again this year) and I decided to make use of this ancient #gardening solution.

Pictured below is the medium size that holds about 1.5 liters. I also make a 3L size and then a small size for potted plants. Check #OllasByOsa for more info. #pottery

@potterybyosa hadn't seen this method of watering, thanks for posting!

We're going through a period of severe drought, might need to try something like these :)

@potterybyosa I am trying out a few olla pots in my garden this year. Right now I'm using small, .7liter size as experiments. My sense is that your 3L size could be quite popular.

@potterybyosa I'm eagerly waiting to order some! I want to help my Quaker meeting install a native plant pollinator garden, and I can't be there all the time to water the new plants regularly, so it seems to me that ollas are the ideal solution until the garden is established.

Looks like they're not available for preorder in the shop yet.
