You should put a clickable link to your website in the description to allow people to get to your website easily

[@archeanna1425]

How would that be easier than clicking on the box that says "Dripping Springs OLLAS" just to the left of the red "SUBSCRIBE" box?

[@y0nd3r]

@@archeanna1425 that link goes to the youtube channel. There is a website. Making a clickable link to the website saves possible customers from having to hunt it down.

THANK YOU FELIX

[@TheMrJong]

Thank you very much!!! This is great!

[@DrippingSpringsOLLAS]

You're very welcome!

[@josipmarketanovic]

Thank you for tips&tricks, great info.

[@DrippingSpringsOLLAS]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Anglerbe]

Thank you, I will be trying this method!

[@DrippingSpringsOLLAS]

Great! Keep us updated on your progress!

[@Anglerbe]

@@DrippingSpringsOLLAS Well I finally got it up and running :) I still need to adjust my valves so the pots fill at the correct rate, and one of my makeshift rain barrels has a leak so I'll need to patch that, but the basics of the system are up and running! Thanks again!

[@lindseynorman4537]

Great video~

[@DrippingSpringsOLLAS]

Thanks! Stay tuned for more to come!😊

[@tooshieg2059]

Use a spray bottle of water to reduce the heat on your drill bit. It will also reduce damage to the olla

[@paulnipper4071]

I found that when drilling terra cotta, wet the area to be drilled, using a carbide tipped drill. The water turns the terra cotta to a hard clay property, the hardness of the bit keeps the terra cotta from chipping or breaking

[@agn855]

Yep, watering the pot beforehand is key. And watering the drill while drilling is fine too.

[@Jules-740]

How do I save space doing this? I really like the idea of using less water and acomplishing more, but doesnt it take up space in the soil were a plant could fit instead?

[@lpmoron6258]

Hey! Love the idea. But instead of drilling on these wonderful pots or kids { haven't seen the whole video} why not manufacture a lid that already has the hole in it? That idea is free!

[@dozyproductionss]

what if you had a bit of hose going into the olla. Once the water reaches hose opening, shouldn't the water stop flowing?

[@Dr.Saudii]

👍👍👍👍💚💚

[@DrippingSpringsOLLAS]

Thank you!

[@Drtbyrd]

I would love to use ollas. But, I can’t find very small ollas for my pots for sucklings. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

[@DrippingSpringsOLLAS]

Check out our website, www.drippingspringsollas.com

[@DrippingSpringsOLLAS]

Thinking....I don't know how small your idea of small is, but our 2 sizes are designed for a large area, about 4 x 4, using the 2.9 gallon olla, and for a container about 20" to 24" across, using our Medium Olla. You could use a container with our Medium, perhaps, and put your sucklings in that, to transfer later when the roots get strong.

[@animalloveriranian]

این روش بسیار عالیه. آیا قابل استفاده برای درختان با ریشه های عمیق هست؟

[@user-jn9rj7hm6u]

IBC tanks = quite expensive for storing water: about almost 300$ for only 1m3, while pools = cheaper: about 100$ only for several m3 !

[@hamidmoufaouid2481]

Vous voulez dire le bassin c'est vrai mais il une pompe donc de l' énergie

[@user-jn9rj7hm6u]

la pompe du bassin n'est pas tant necessaire, l'eau vaut pour plusieurs mois jusqu'il put. je propose pompe solaire p.e. de l'ALDI (40€) ou aliexpress pour intervaux programme's donc pour nager il faut une pompe forte pour operer le chauffage noire solaire durant la journe'e. j'ai les legumes y fraises 2m au dessous du terrain haut pour profiter du desniveau (=0,2bar pression) avec le systeme blumat.@@hamidmoufaouid2481

[@harsectinal]

I get used food grade IBC totes locally for forty dollars. Just gotta ask around.

[@HOLYLAND007007007]

Why don't you use something like a toilet bowl plungers that way when the water gets to a certain level at automatically turned itself off and when it needs water it turns itself on

[@ImranMohammedkhi]

It is great idea but there are no pores on the surface of the ollas so how does water reach the soil

[@DrippingSpringsOLLAS]

When the clay is fired it leaves very tiny holes in the clay. A wood fire is used, firing for about 12 hours. This creates enough holes so when the dry soil pulls the water out, soil moisture tension is working.

[@ImranMohammedkhi]

@@DrippingSpringsOLLAS many thanks for your reply, how much does one olla cost in your country

[@DrippingSpringsOLLAS]

@@ImranMohammedkhi The price varies a lot because some of our retailers are online, so they have to add shipping. In store prices are usually around $35.00 or so, and online is $60.00 or so. I don't set the price, so these are ball bark figures. What country are you in?

[@nolitetebastardescarborund9761]

Terra cotta is naturally porous.

Any news on this concept?

[@jmreagle]

If you're running hose everywhere, why not just use a slow drip hose?

[@DrippingSpringsOLLAS]

Using an olla from Dripping Springs Ollas offers several advantages over traditional top soil watering. Ollas are designed to deliver water directly to the roots of plants, ensuring efficient hydration and minimizing water waste through evaporation and runoff. This targeted approach not only conserves water but also promotes deep root growth, resulting in healthier and more resilient plants with enhanced nutrient uptake. Additionally, olla irrigation reduces the need for frequent weeding, as the drier soil surface discourages weed seed germination. This method also saves you time, as ollas require less frequent refilling compared to traditional watering. By embracing olla irrigation, you're not only making your gardening practices more efficient but also contributing to sustainable and eco-friendly gardening that benefits both your plants and the environment.

[@bradenarnold5809]

Use silicone. No caulk.

[@hotmalm]

There are simple ways to only turn on one valve to water how may you want. This is not the simple way😌👌

[@hamidmoufaouid2481]

Laquelle ?

[@rjh6380]

I guess to me if you're going to the trouble of installing drip, why would you need the olla's .

[@fodor7069]

B.S.

[@luist8868]

Every time I hear the word "Olla” mentioned in this context, I absolutely cringe as if someone is scraping their nails across a blackboard! This is NOT an “Olla”! This is a “Jarro” which is a different type of vessel than an Olla! Leave it to an American to butcher the word.

[@lpmoron6258]

Tried to do this any other way but could not. The word for how long your hose is is length. Check your spelling on this word please.

[@JG-lx5pm]

you need to put an individual monitoring floating sysstem so you know how full each olla is, very easy with a piece of wire and a piece of styrofoam, then the problem is that the ollas do not fill themselves at the same level even when you gradually open the valves at different degree, that is why you need a floater.
