During the warmer months, the soil will dry out more quickly and the oyas help with that. I haven’t had a problem with oyas making my soil too wet.

I have put 2 of the medium Oyas in one of my raised beds that is not very close to a water source. Hoping it will work with my tomatoes and peppers in Phoenix. I noticed that when I check the moisture with my meter it always reads wet (9-10). Is that going to be too wet?

I love using ollas for containers, but prefer these garden grids for raised beds – they don’t take up as much room in the beds and water evenly. Learn more in this blogpost: https://growinginthegarden.com/best-way-to-water-raised-bed-gardens/

I live in Phoenix, and 1/2 my plants are in raised beds, the other half in grow bags between 3 and 20 gallons. Would ollas work well with both raised beds and grow bags?

I’m ordering one today! They really should provide you a discount code since you’re helping advertise for them.
