I'm trying to do parts of it more or less, in the dry farming method -- low irrigation, widely spaced plants. I'll definitely try this. I wonder if ollas would work for fertigation? And I wonder if Fiesta Market might have some ollas? I bought a small one for making hot chocolate there a few years ago.Lisahttp://accidentalhuswife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-61788688710780279172009-04-28T20:40:00.000-05:002009-04-28T20:40:00.000-05:00The price of ollas put me off at first.

I used some old 5-inch regular clay pots (read free) for tops. I'm only using them in my carrots and okra at the moment (test run), but they seem to be working. Yay.<br /><br />MichaleaMichaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559497398641294745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-23599124272707628082009-04-28T19:40:00.000-05:002009-04-28T19:40:00.000-05:00That is so cool, thanks for posting it.

I'm reflecting on this - could it work in VT?Chancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817696993042085671noreply@blogger.com
