This is an 'Olla'. It's a clay pot without glaze that's been fired to a very low temperature and remains porous. You bury it in the garden and plant your veggies next to it and fill with water. It's a subsurface drip irrigation system. It slowly, and I do mean slowly, seeps water into the surrounding soil. A few years ago I made quite a few and sold them and I'm thinking of doing it again!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Very interesting product. For its time this seems an ingenious idea.Both my children have backyard gardens and I will turn them on to this.
