🍃Watering isn’t your problem. Timing is. 🌿
Especially in the Arizona heat, you can water your garden and still lose moisture before your plants ever get what they need.
🪴That’s why I love ollas.
These simple clay pots slowly release water underground, right where the roots can actually use it. As the soil dries, moisture moves through the porous clay—so your plants can take up water more consistently instead of going from soaked to stressed.
☀️Less evaporation.
☀️Less runoff.
☀️Deeper roots.
☀️And a little less worrying about whether I watered at exactly the right time.
Sometimes the best garden tricks aren’t new at all.
Would you try an olla in your garden?
