I have terracotta pots set up for my peppers, they have been working so far

What's the benefit of terracotta for peppers?

[–] CounselingTechie 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are called ollas, but it is a method of using a terracotta pot that you fill with water and keep in the dirt by the plants. As the water through osmosis diffuses through the terracotta, the roots will grow around it, creating a method of self-watering.

What a clever idea!
