1. Gather everything for your new plant up.

• OllaPot – choose the size that best suits your application

• Potting mix – we like a mix of potting soil, compost and palm peat

• Pot for planting – pots, troughs or even a raised bed

• Plants - herbs, vegggies etc

• Drainage materials - stones, gravel

• Mulch – Bark, straw wood chips. This is optional but highly recommended

2. Pot Preparation

• Add the drainage material to the pot. Add some of the potting mix to a level where the neck of the OllaPot will stand proud once the pot is filled

3. Planting your OllaPot

• Cover the neck of the OllaPot with newspaper, using an elastic to secure it. This stops soil and mulch getting into the pot while planting.

• Place the OllaPot in the pot as desired and fill up with the remaining potting mix.

4. Planting your plants

• Plant your selected plants around the OllaPot. Resist the urge to overcrowd your pot. Now is a good time to water each young plant before mulching.

• Add mulch and fill up the OllaPot. You’re Done!
