Who is Oyas Environnement?
Did you know?Nearly a million Oyas have already been sold, and every single one was hand-thrown by the potters at Oyas Environnement.
Oyas Environnement is a French maker of watering pots. Its workshops are based in Saint-Jean-de-Fos, in France's Hérault department, a village with a long pottery tradition. Since 2014, Oyas Environnement has been reviving an age-old irrigation method: the oya buried at the base of plants.
Each Oya is shaped by hand on the potter's wheel from natural clay. The micro-porous ceramic lets water seep through by capillary action, at the pace the soil needs. When the soil is moist, the flow slows down on its own. No energy, no hoses, no waste.
At Moutta Farm, we love simple solutions that take care of the soil. Oyas Environnement pots are a great match for a garden fed with compost. Find them in our water-saving irrigation section and among our planting ollas. Oyas come with a 2-year warranty.
Questions about Oyas Environnement products
Garden oya or planting oya: which one should I choose?
For in-ground beds, the vegetable garden, or a large planter, choose the Garden oyas for burying, available in 0.4 gal (1.5 L) or 1.3 gal (5 L). For a potted plant, the Planting oya 30 cl is the right size. All of them are handmade in France by Oyas Environnement.
Which size Garden oya should I choose?
The size M Garden oya, which holds 1.6 quarts (1.5 liters), works well for small groups of plants and for planters. The size L, which holds 1.3 gallons (5 liters), waters a larger area and is ideal in the vegetable garden for tomatoes or zucchini. The water only seeps out locally, so place the oya as close to the roots as possible.

Yes, the Planting oya 30 cl comes in 9 colors of glazed ceramic, so you can match it to your pot and your decor. It waters your plant on its own for 4 to 5 days. If the pot sits outdoors, be sure to bring the oya inside for the winter.
