Gardening Tip: Olla
If you are looking for a way to both conserve water and have a healthy garden, an Olla might help.
Olla are made from porous clay (terracotta), buried into the garden ,and filled with water. That water then slowly seeps into the soil while being protected from surface evaporation.
DIY: Glue two terracotta pots together, and fill the hole on the side that will be buried.
