New sub here. Thank you so much. I am a new single, senior, female homesteader in Northern AZ. No power or water possibilities. This channel is very helpful.!
A great thing about olla/clay pots is that they stay cooler, and when buried they're cool. This is very important especially in the desert weather you are in.
I would love to see the sketches, and whatever you can share to implement it . Thank you for sharing. You are full of surprises.
You already showed us as you were doing it. Glad you're happy with the results
Well done Jess. You are very creative, artistic and hard working
I would love to see all the information on this… You guys never cease to amaze me ❤️ I love that you share your life with us on surviving living off the grid 🥰 God Bless and Gods Speed 🙏
I would as well. Very interesting and I’m always happy to learn new ways to take care of my plants. Thanks for the great information
How the heck did you drill into the pots without shattering them??
DESERT PIONEERS! AWESOME!
I would love the technical part of the setup. Jess you did a really good job on this watering system. Thanks in advance.
Beautiful garden, beautiful people, i enjoy all your videos but those that Jess puts her special touch to are especially Amazing!
Thank you for showing the entire project in one video. You did a great job. Very creative.
Also, Jess, you're a ROCKSTAR! It's nice hearing from you. I'm glad you're feeling better and hope to keep learning from y'all.
the three I's: 1) Impressive. 2) Informative. 3) Inspirational. thank you for sharing. this is a good/excellent method of watering. I currently drag a hose around to water in the wee hours of the morning. which I enjoy. but this is a much better way.
Well Done! Very creative. The flowers are in bloom. Really, quite lovely! You need a couple chairs or a bench to sit and enjoy.
I Love garden♥️Most beautiful garden Ever❣️
I remember thinking how dry your ground is when I watched you making the berm before. Even after the rain you've had, it still seems so dry. I know that you are in dessert, but I just can't imagine it because we live in such a wet place. Lovely video!
Your work and efforts are paying off by looks of the plants growing
Afternoon you guys hope you guys have a wonderful day hope your hope his back is feeling better there's really no need is back hurting no more work I guess are you guys have a great day and God bless you❤❤❤
Very Clever Jess well done 👍✅
This woman is worth her weight in gold.
Well done Jess! Your flowers are beautiful!
Excellent 👍. We winter over the mountains in Green Valley and my wife loved the idea.
Jess! I have so much admiration for your project and the narration of most of this video. Need to hear and watch more of you!
What an amazing idea I Love your artistic touches to everything.
Jessica, thank you for spelling out your design so well. I live on the sid o🎉a hill. Much of my property is terraced. I have been researching all kinds of passive watering systems that can make use of my reservoir (an ingrown pool that I filter using a combination of solar power, ram pump, to circulate through fish pond, and plant marsh filtration arrangement). I haven't found a way to evenly distribute the water evenly without adding a pressurized element. I believe you have shown me the way. I'll need to start resourcing clay pots because I believe you are my inspiration for a much sought after solution to my conundrum. Blessings abundant to you all.
Fantastic idea.
Thank you! Cheers!
👍
Your creativity is to put it simply ingenious. Your videos are never a letdown.
Mario! Jess the plumber. I love you guys even more. I'm an old school plumber and I'm very I'm very impressed. Well done. xxx
Thank you!
I love this! You did an amazing job on this Jess. Thanks for sharing your process for setting this up. You're SO creative!
Thank you for the inside story Jess! Your oya pot system is the sweetest installation I have seen. Great job! 😊
Thanks for the all the explanations and images. It was easy to understand what you did. It was nice seeing your garden bringing in butterfly's. For some reason I didn't think of them in the desert.
Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been watching the bits and pieces as you have shared , good to see it all in one video!
YES I would love to see the details!
Good use of resources, which includes your energy expenditure. GENIUS
Great Idea , Beautiful Garden Jess! 😊Well done !
An artist at work, the top part of your barrel in the shape of a flower as a bird bath is so beautiful an ingenious idea. wow such beautiful lavender the leaves on that lavender is serrated unlike the usual lavender we grow here in the UK, I have tried that one and it will not survive the winter with out being put into the green house. I love the little stones cap on top of the pot they are beautiful very original have to watch this video again. The system is extremely clever. I could not have those pots in my garden as the frost would shatter them and here in the UK we do not have very long period of dry weather. Very clever system Jessica 👏👏👏👏Thanks for this wonderful video.
What a great water system for your flowers Jess‼️ You have so any great ideas‼️
It sure is looking great as it's growing in.
Great irritation system. Can't wait to see the garden.
New name... almost got lost in the shuffle! Go Jim and Jess!! Love you two )
The rocks around the barrel makes it look like a well - I like it 👍👍 I use a cement bird bath to give water to my bees 🐝🐝🐝🐝 I keep them in fresh water EVERY DAY Its a cheap and great way to Attract Honey bees THEY NEED LOTS OF WATER, To make honey and wax.. Plus Bees Do like to swim. They got wax all over them. and can stay afloat for a long time. They like to swim on there backs. Some times i let them crawl on my finger to get them out. Then flip it off. That bee 🐝will remember you as well, and become your best friend 🤣
I’ve been fascinated by this and after my back heals up from surgery I’m setting this system up. Plus a frog 🐸 pond
i did not know those pots were porous! brilliantly simple, elegant, Effective!! i love it! i love you guys! and love the pups!
That is so cool and so easy. Great job.
What a cool idea!!
❤TY for the VIDEO 😊 PEACE
I do something similar for our saplings. I bury a PVC pipe at an angle about 4 feet deep directed at their base. In the sweltering heat of Summer it is a great way to water those deeper roots. Plus it makes your tree grow deeper in order to reach the water. My trees grow crazy fast.
GREAT idea! I have some pvc pipe need to recycle and coolant decide what to do with it or how to. Thanks!
Way to Go 🏆 😊❤ 🌿 💐
Great job Jess, looks like the system works really well. The video explained it well. Your necklace was lovely also. Cheers 😀
I set up a micro feed system in a previous house, to water my hanging baskets, that was connected to a Men's urinal flush cistern. I'm not sure if you use this type in America. It's a cistern that fills up slowly with 2 Gallon of water then dumps it out of the bottom pipe. Then shuts off the water exiting and refills. You can set it to different times to flush, from 1/2 an hour to 2 hours. You will need to feed the cistern from a tank that's higher. Connect all your micro pipes into a manifold at the bottom and 'Wa-lar'! The jobs a gooden It keeps everything moist, without having to get the watering can out. My hanging baskets were massive, never got dehydrated and I never had to get the watering can out. I think the system you are using is perfect and well thought out. Just giving you maybe a different idea that may be helpful in another application. Love all the work your doing, watching you overcome problems as you go. Learning from your mistakes and moving on. Hope Jess and you have solved your Bee problem. Much love Jon. xxx
Are you going to grow food and herbs? Excellent job Jess.
Great job on your watering method. Be safe.
That's wonderful I will always remember you when I do this. love and light little ones 😊 X
Love this, keeping your plants watered under ground helps use less water and is more consistent for the plants health. Less water and more growth = winning combination. I would definitely consider using your method if I had the space for a bigger garden where I live. Unfortunately I'm limited to veggies and flowers that are grown in containers, so this year I used my grandchildrens empty water and soft drink bottles and poked 2 very small holes in them and buried them up to almost all the way to the caps. I remove the cap fill the bottles and then put the cap back on tightly the plants pull the water as they need it. On really hot days or extended dry spells I sometimes leave the cap off until the water drains and refill it before capping it. I've been amazed at how well it's worked. No scorched plants! I even made my first 5 gallon grow bag this spring and will definitely be making more it seems to grow better than in the actual containers and much cheaper too! There's just so much satisfaction in watching your plants grow up healthy and productive and watching pollinating visitors come and go. Though I would imagine your growing season is a little longer than ours is up here in Rhode Island. I'm already thinking about what to add next year and will try to find an area that I can at least try a few oya pots. I'd love to meet you Jess, I love all the creativity you and Jim put into your projects ❤
Great system Jess! Medicinal herbs would give you great benefits. 😊
Love your garden Jess. Good work guys.
Ich Gratuliere dir Von Herzen mache weiter solche tollen Dinge
That's a clever system. & The bird bath is a nice touch.
This looks great for my desert garden. I would love pictures of the bird bath on top of the barrel. Is the black pipe between the pots a drip hose or is it solid?
I think I could combine this with my rain barrel system.
Thank you.
Brilliant job Jess
Jess, you are such an inspiring, strong, intelligent, beautiful woman
Yes, more technical information. like do you drill holes at top of drip line that pools that water to each pot. Also, how close to you plant to each pot. And do you fill the drum from you other water source? So yes, more specifics, please. Love your videos, keep up the great work on your homestead. Cheers!
I think they are creating a NEED for more info to sell us the " step by step diy plan " which is Jim's marketing ideas. Love Jess but I always feel Jim is trying to sell me a ponsi ,lol
Very interesting, good content.
Good job and a great idea ❤
Great skills with that sawzall Jess in cutting the barrel top.
Incredible
You guys are doing great!! Thanks for your inspiration!!
Cool, simple, watering set up, for a small garden Jess
Nicely done! Consider adding a fine mesh screen material under the bird bath to avoid mosquitos from getting into the water from around the bird bath. Be careful of scorpions reaching in for the valve. I don’t mean to be a downer, but living in AZ requires such precautions.
Jess
You are a very artistic person.
Howdy Jess and Jim. Well done Jess. You did an amazing job. A lot of work. Looks great. What did you use to make those nice looking lids for the pots? Mosaic looking. Also, drawings would greatly help. I’m in the city and I’m really impressed on your work and what it accomplishes. So the pots get filled and the water that seeps from the filled pots water the plants? I’m wanting to start a garden for next year and your method would work well here. I may ask you, Jim, on how you started your rain water collection. You guys rock. Thank you so much for this information. Hope Crew is better. Glad you are doing well, Jess. Jim, hope your back is better. Blessings to you all and Peter.
Im totally going to do this in my yard!
You don't need to drill holes in the pots if you lay two - firmly glued together - pots on their side and use the bottom holes as inlet and outlet holes for the pipe. Alternatively, you can then drill one hole in the side of the last pot (which then faces upwards) so that you can see when the water reaches the end.
Actually your method is less work and frankly dont see the point of drilling a third viewing hole since water seeks to level itself but the hollas will have to leveled more.thanks!
Very nice, very nice!
Jess that is Amazing great idea thanks for sharing
I so enjoyed watching.
Love your content so much, great idea and thank you for sharing. You guys are amazing! 🙏
This is such a genius idea Jessica.
Hey Jess and Jim, I like Jesse's watering method, I have seen it before. The big trick is to remember to turn it off. You know you will be doing something else, and I always forget until the water is going down the gutter. Lol
Now that the cooler weather is coming are you going to inclose the dome so you can grow vegetables through the winter? I think that would be a good idea. Here in Thailand we really don't have to worry about that. It never freezes here, so we have no problem with growing year-round.
You guys have a great day, and I will catch you on the next video. ❤
Right on thank you for showing in details your watering system very nice. ❤👍✌
Cool project and nice narration, Jess!
I don't really watch this channel but it seems to me like she may be being abused. I will delete this comment for her safety, but I want that thrown out there.
That's really amazing Jess, I think that will work well in our home.
This video is well made! Nice work 👍
Genial.
thanks
This is so awesome!
ingenious--really interesting
Beautiful
love y'alls channel. really enjoyed this garden video with the flowers and insect shots!
I am totally in the process of building a system just need the pots.
Love all y’all videos and work! I will be moving back to the hill country of Texas and will use many of your ideas!! Blessings!
As long as the string of pots are lower than the 55 gallon barrel there is no need to put them in descending order. Water will always seek its on level. I think I saw you using a clear tube with water to check level on something once. I might be mistaking. I find about every 2 or 3 years you must clean old roots from around the pots. Shows how well they work if it is good for the roots! You should look into "Wicking self watering containers". Easy and cheap to make.👍
I love the concept of wicking to water my plants, I have two planters that are supposedly wicking but too much water stays in the resevoir and it stinks! What am I doing wrong?
I don't really watch this channel but it seems to me like she may be being abused. I will delete this comment for her safety, but I want that thrown out there.
Love the idea… I think I’m going to try with my fruit trees… awesome vid again keep it up👍
Looking good
I came across your channel and have been thoroughly enjoying your journey. Have you ever thought about hosting an "Our Self-Reliant Life work weekend" every quarter? This would allow other enthusiasts to lend a hand on some of your projects. It's just a thought, and I completely understand and respect your privacy. Nonetheless, it could be a great deal of fun.
Thanks Jess! 🎉
good job Jess
Very interesting!!!😊🎉❤
Awesome job 👍👍👏, plants look great 👍👍👍
Great yes Jesse this is so smart. I wanna try it in my garden when I make one.
Very interesting ❤
So smart Jess love your system 😊
Great video! Luv the new instructional format. And Yes! I would like more detailed information.
Great idea to glue two regular pots together because regular Olla pots are so expensive!
Do the bottom pots have their bottom holes open?
Since you have used both, do you think the Olla pot system uses less water than drip irrigation?
Thank you again for the information
