Two simple ways to make your own ollas. These traditional selfwatering vessels are lowtech, easy to DIY, and will help keep plants watered in the driest conditions.

The first way to make an Olla takes only a few minutes, and the second more permanent DIY takes a day. You can also use a cork to fill the hole, as you can see in my olla update video for using these selfwatering pots outside in the garden:    • Ollas for Healthy Seedlings During Dr...
