We ARE all responsible. When we fall victim to propaganda it is our fault. It also goes way beyond simple consumption.

Posted by farmboy2017This is a one gallon olla used to irrigate garden plants. It works using capillary action. The vessel is porous and plant roots will wrap around it and drink from it!
