Red clay irrigation jars with lids

Jars in red Catalan earthenware

I make irrigation jars from red earthenware that comes from Catalonia. Also called “oyas” (a registered trademark) or “ollas”, they water plants at the roots and save water.

I make jars in different sizes, from 0.5 L to 10 L, fired at 970 °C. They can be used in open ground, in tubs or in window boxes.

How does it work?

  1. BuryBury the jar next to the plant.
  2. FillFill it with water and put the lid on.
  3. SeepThe porous walls of the jar release the water.

Root irrigation reduces evaporation and wastes less water. You can save up to 70% of the water used by other watering systems: you water less, and less often.
