First off...a before picture. In this picture you can see that the potato tires in the back of the pic already have 3 tires stacked one on top of each other and filled with dirt, while the tires in front are stacked 2-high each. As can be seen in the pic, all of the potato plants are strong and healthy and ready for another tire and more dirt to be added to each.
(I have received comments and emails from people asking why you stack tires when growing potatoes. Stacking tires on top of each other and filling them with dirt as the potato plant grows is the tire-gardening way of "hilling" your potatoes. In a traditional garden, you hill potatoes by piling more dirt up and around the potato plant in order to give the potatoes more room to grow in. By piling the tires on top of each other and filling each new tire with more dirt you are giving the potato plant more room to grow in. Last year I piled the tires on top of each other only 3-high; this year we plan to do all of the potato tires 4-high. I have seen websites and blogs where people have piled the potato tires up to 5 tires high - that's a lot of potatoes!!!)
So continuing on...in order to cut the rims out of the tires you will need a sharp Stanley knife and replacement blades. You will also need a strong husband - bahahaha! Jambaloney stacks the tires in the middle of driveway and uses the stacked tires as a workbench. Here you can see him begin to cut out the rim of the tire. There is a line on the tire that he follows with the Stanley knife.
Make sure to hold onto the rim to make the cutting easier and smoother.
Here he is a finished tire with both sides of the rim cut out (notice monster bike-cart in back!):
And the finished tire laying on the ground ready for the next step - flipping it inside out. As can be seen in the picture....the outside of the tire has the treads and the inside is smooth. We like to flip the tires inside out so that the smooth side shows as the outside of the container garden - does that make sense?
So first....push in the centre of the tire as Jambaloney is doing in the picture:
Next...step on the middle of the tire and start flipping the tire inside-out from the bottom to the top. Sometimes this can take a little wrangling and playing with the tire.
Keeping your foot firmly in place, wrestle with the tire until it is completely flipped inside-out.
And here is the finished flipped inside-out tire ready to be dropped on top of the potato plants and filled with dirt or placed wherever to be used as a container garden.
Enjoy! and stay tuned for more tips and tricks!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI have an authoritative blog in the gardening industry. I am wondering if you would like to do a link trade to benefit both our sites and improve authority with the search engines. There are a couple options for linking-
1) I will link to your website from one of my pages. I can use any anchor text you would like. In return, you can link back to me from one of your pages. If you need fresh content, I would be happy to write an article or guide for you to place on your site to link from.
I think that this would be a highly relevant trade:

http://yardsurfer.com
2) We can do a blogroll link exchange
I build links and optimize every page of my website, ensuring that your link will only become stronger over time. If you are interested, please send me a reply at your convenience. I look forward to speaking with you.

Totally cool post! I love this idea of tire gardening. The only hesitation I have is about the toxic chemicals (if any) coming from the tires themselves & leeching down into the soil underneath and/or also into the veggies, if you happen to grow veggies in the tires.
ReplyDeleteBut the look is absolutely wonderful. I have a couple different plantings that I'd surround with tires in a heartbeat. So easy, it seems!!

I read you used 6 cubic feet of soil... wondering how many tires that filled? I'm going all out with the tire garden (first time!!) so I want to know how much soil to buy... if you can help me out, that'd be great. :-)

ReplyDeleteI really like ideas and tips of making the garden containers by the use of tires, the illustration made in this blog is worth appreciating.

The measure of light you can put on the plants will depend to a significantly more noteworthy degree on the separation that the leaves are from the plant than the installation. The sort of light you need relies upon the sort of plants you have.
