Olla Plant Feeder
Olla Plant Feeder

Make watering your garden a snap with an ancient irrigation technology. When buried and filled with water, the ollas (ôoy-yahsô) feeds surrounding plants as water seeps through the porous terracotta body. The plants growing around the feeder pull moisture only when needed, saving you water and time! The Olla Plant Feeder is handcrafted in Bangladesh where makers from Corr-The Jute Works showcase their skill in ceramics by crafting each white-washed terracotta planter by hand.
