Olla MK2
Pronounced “oya”, ollas were once extensively used in Spain and Central America as a water saving irrigation system. Olla MK2 refashions it to irrigate a small cluster of plants which cannot be attended to for weeks or months on ends - for example a small garden in a weekend home or even the grave of a loved one.
It is essentially a very porous unglazed clay pot bottom with a heavily glazed funnel top crafted as one. The funnel collects as much water from the rain when the garden is left unattended (or the owners when they come by) and stores it in the bottom pot. On wetter days after the rain, the surrounding water pressure prevents the water in the Olla MK2 from seeping out. But on drier days, the water seeps out slowly by capillary action as and when needed by the roots.
