Terra-cotta saucers in the beds cover the tops of buried water jugs, or ollas. The jugs, made of porous unglazed terra cotta, have been buried beneath the soil to provide a slow seepage of water directly to plant roots. The water can be topped up when needed by lifting the lid and pouring it in.

Buried water jugs, or ollas, are porous unglazed terra cotta pots buried and filled with water which slowly seeps out. Cover with a terra cotta lid and refill.
I had them fabricated at a sheet metal fabricator
