Make A Garden Using Old Tires

By George Dodson


Anyone who wants to save on fruit and vegetables should do like maybe their parents did and grow their own. An easy thing to do and not an expensive one either. There is nothing quite like fresh taste from your own garden. In addition, you can grow your own herbs. You get a freshness and potency that you cant find in a store. Growing your own produce is very satisfying. Finally, you control what goes into it. You know it is fresh, natural, and without preservatives.

Lots of people just dont have the space for lots of fruit and vegetable growing. Therefore people need to look at alternatives. Planting a garden in a range of small spaces may be an answer. This works because you can plant, harvest, and plant again during the season and still have enough for your personal needs. Try planting in old tires, it can really work.

You can find many places where you can get these for free. In some cases, they might cost 5 bucks with tire discounts. If you plan to do some regular planting you will need about 5 tires. But large installations may require over ten tires.

You might think that these old tires dont look that good. Maybe the neighbors will object? There are ways of dressing them up by covering them with something that looks much better. To increase their attraction try putting them in wooden boxes. Cutting into floral patterns and then painting them works. The rims of the tires could be used as a stand.

Dig down to a depth of 4inches to prepare the soil, once you have decided on a suitable spot. The roots of plants need to grow as deep as possible to be healthy. Always use good soil for planting. A local store, Home Depot or a Lowes will stock this. Planting your seeds in well fertilized soil is essential. It is vital that water well but not too much. The little garden will keep you supplied with all you need. You will save money on vegetables and fruits because it costs far less to grow them then to buy them in the store.
