Question

on left depicts two ollas. The empty on is on the left. The other was filled with water to the rim, but level is down an inch due to the porosity of the vessel. Note darker surface nd lower water level. This is a couple of hours after filling. on the right depicts how a plastic bottle simply leaks or dumps it's contents. Ollas hold the water at the root zone. The bottle aplies way too much water, way too fast before the plants can use it and it's lost to deep percolation.

Answer 1

While I do think your ollas are a more professional and attractive solution , you can easily control the flow from the plastic bottles by reducing the size and quantity of holes , and also by replacing the lid . Water flow slows , when air can not enter from the top of the bottle . Using recycled plastic bottles is cheaper , easier , and effective in drought prone areas , unless , of course , you have your owl kiln .
