Easy Watering, Healthy Roots

These feel really solid and have a good shape. I've bought cheaper ones, but these ones definitely seem to hold water better for the watering

Gardening in arid, tropical or sub-tropical parts of Australia can be tough, and it's getting tougher. I would spend most of the afternoon and evenings watering my fruit trees and veggie gardens in an often hopeless battle against scorching summer heat. Which was once a few weeks either side of Christmas but now seems to start in September and go through to April. Then, almost by accident I discovered Ollas. I tried making my own, I bought some from the nursery, and the results were okay. Not brilliant, just okay. But the potential was obvious. Some searching online and I found Up On the Roof and problem solved. The often over used statement "Fit For Purpose" has never been more accurate that with these Ollas. I started with four small tall ollas to see how they went. Now I have twenty-five and will be getting more. Where once, if I missed watering the garden in the heat of summer, I'd come out the next day to find everything wilted and dying. Now, with my silent army of water workers happily doing their thing, I've gone a few days without watering and the garden is still healthy and happy. And now I've installed the extra large 6L ollas amongst my fruit trees, I've had to up my fertilising regime just to keep up with them. To put it bluntly, if you're not using Ollas, you're not just wasting water but also your time.

This is one review where I can honestly say that I would be lost without these bags. I have come to rely heavily on my growing collection of bags, and the results I'm seeing with my dwarf fruit trees and blueberries is staggering! There is much to be said about the benefits of aeration around the root system which is now producing healthier plants that can breathe. I can relax in the knowledge that the ollas are doing a far better job at keeping them hydrated than I ever could, with no risk of the roots rotting out! I am slowly swapping out my terracotta pots with these amazing grow bags and ollas, and will continue to support this wonderful small family-based Australian business where I can. Thank you Team UOTRT! 🙏

I started with 2 grow bags and have just ordered more they are brilliant I’m not short on garden space however nothing grows properly in the soil we have and I’m also time poor so hard to weed large areas hence the grow bags I’ve planted bee friendly shrubs in them so far and they’re giving beautiful colour to the area and so much easier to look after .
I would definitely recommend .

This is the third order I have made.
I just love these bags, they are all sitting on wheelie pot stands.
I have them on my studio deck because I can move them around to chase the sun in Winter.

I have the garden bed sized ones on 4 X small square ones tied together.
I'm growing fruit trees - dwarf pears, dwarf mulberry, peas, lettuce garlic, roses, potatoes, beetroot, parsley, oregano, thyme, etc.
I'm using companion planting 😊.

So glad I purchased. I am not at all good at keeping plants alive in pots. I have never known how to get the watering right. I end up with very sick looking plants. Love the spikes they take all the guess work out of having lovely healthy looking plants. Since purchasing my indoor plants have never looked better.

With a north facing balcony everything dries out quickly, using the waterpot makes a huge difference, it keeps all the plants happy, healthy and hydrated.

Loving my garden bed so much just bought another one!

In total I have made 5 orders. I have many different sizes and grow exclusively in these bags. My plants are healthy and I love that I can move them around the garden if they need more or less sunlight. I've had other knock off bags where the handles cannot support the weight, but the Up On The Rooftop ones are so securely stitched and easy to carry around. They're attractive and look great in the garden. Can't recommend these enough!

These are a wonderful invention to keep your soil moist on a deeper level than surface watering.
No water wastage and by inverting a large water filled bottle ( which fits perfectly) your Olla will remain completely full for days longer.
The larger size is a great thing for larger areas but the spikes may work better for grow bags.
I already have 4 large size but this time got 3 XL size as we have multiple raised beds and plan to get more. ( raised beds and Ollas).
Unfortunately these XL are now sold out but will wait for a new shipment before buying more.
I was worried about possible breakage but there has been no problems as they come very well packaged in total recycling materials except for the sticky tape and delivery labels.
Thank you for doing your bit to keep our planet healthier and happier.

We have smaller ollas that are wonderful in our raised garden bed. This larger olla is next level - we love the difference in watering requirements and the plants nearby are so much more vigorous. Cannot say enough about the effectiveness of ollas and wholeheartedly recommend their use.

Brilliant devices. When I can afford I would luke to purchase more. I soaked them in water over night before use. I have noticed an immediate difference in two tea roses that were struggling despite the water I was pouring on them.
Same for two dwarf cumsuat trees that are in very large pots. Often not looking best despite water in the saucers. None of that with spikes. I love that refilling is determined by how much the plant has taken.
I have used glass corona bottles rather than plastic as we get very strong easterlies.
Very happy thus far. Brilliant system of watering

These bags are fantastic. They look more stylish than other grow bags that are on the market and way more stronger. I definitely recommend to anyone wanting to buy a grow bag from this company.
Up on the Rooftop are so efficient in their services and fast delivery. Will be purchasing again from them, thank you.

Kind Regards.
Brett.

I was given a spike which I planted with a blueberry. I was so impressed by the condition of my plant after a week's holiday that I bought some more to plant with my lime & other fruit trees

We ordered the small one a while back and found that it worked so well that we bought 5 more. Plants grew better with less water, almost too aesthetically pleasing to bury in the ground.
