Use of “oy-ya” pots for irrigation directly to the root of the plants.
They are self watering pots and can be used in beds, raised beds or even land.
Extremely useful for dry sites and with little water. For me it is useful in helping with the irrigation / maintenance.
Details
The pots have to be cooked but can not be glazed.
Cost per pot: 6 €
Duration: Maximum of 1 week irrigation
Irrigation area: 20 to 25cm
Steps
Choose the spot (25cm radius of useful irrigation).
Open the hole.
Adjust the depth of the hole.
Cover and repeat the process.
Fill with water and cover. The master potter even made some super caps 🙂
I’ve been using them since October and so far they’re excellent. This summer is when they’re going to be thoroughly tested, but I am sure that this ancestral system will be up to the challenge.
