50 old car tyres ...FREE
Can anyone use approx. 50 old car tyres I have seen them used to keep the tarpaulins down, which was covering hay/ straw on farms. My mate has 50, Free. If anyone can make use of them. I saw a TV programme a few years ago where in some African country, they made all sorts of things from old car tyres. Any Africans out there???

I only ever worked with one African. His name is Abdi. He still lives in Marina Drive.
Great character.

You can stack them up, line them, fill with soil/compost and grow veg in them - thats what I would do.

veg grower
you are right good for potatoes fill ist tyre wirh soil and plenty of manure place chitted potatoes on surface put on next tyre on top of stack cover potatoes with 3 to 4inches of soil then as the potatoe start growing keep adding tyres and soil when the season is right or the potatoe tops start to wilt just kick over the tyres and pick up your dinner no digging for those without a garden you can grow then in the back ysrd

They are good for flower beds that is for sure. When I was younger we used tractor tires for it. Just an Idea!
