BIG TIRES - the Gardeners Friend

[davaroo]

that looks great thanks so much for sharing your photos!

I had a neighbor who turned them inside out as well and cut points so they looked like open tire flowers

one year we pulled a bunch of them out of the woods and I grew potatoes in them ...it was amazing how big the plants grew and how many tires I ended up stacking! when they were ready I tipped the tires over and the potatoes poured out!

I would not worry about the goo on the tires if you wash them well with a good soap ..they should be fine... they are mostly rubber and quite safe I would think ..just rubber planters is all

I have some spots that tires would work well in I think I am going to follow your lead and start picking them up again when I see them

thanks so much for the inspiration! next year I will try melons in them for sure!

Pick up them tires and recycle. Growing food in old tires, I mean, how lovely is that. You are a Prince (princess) among Men.
