step by step guide on how to make your own tyre plant pot.

very clever ~ great shape now

Brilliant design idea, love it.

wow thanks Mark.....you have explained it so well..I'll report back the results soon...:-)

That looks so good, thankyou for the instructions....

have you got a 3-wheeler car now ~ or a one wheeled motorbike?

Hi Mark - I've seen these about but didn't know how people made them so thanks for that. Bob Flowerdew of TV fame uses a lot of his old tyres to sow plants etc in. It's a good way of recycling isn't it ?

Arre you going to plant it up or was it just a trial to show us ?

That is Brilliant - like a sunny pot - very genius thinking there !!!

Thats great I think I will give it ago

Brilliant Mark and they last for years too.

Hi all thankyou all so much much for your great comments.I am glad you have found the instructions clear and helpful.Yes i am going to plant something in it at the weekend.I have already had flowers and tomato plants growing well in here in the past years.I will put pictures on at the weekend.Thankyou all again happy tyre plant pot making.:))))

Mariek dont get me started on bob flowerdew...its his fault i ended up with a lorry loads of tyres...lol

i have just shown this to my son and nephew. they are asking did u use a special blade on the jigsaw Mark?

Hi Sandra son and nephew,i used a course cutting jigsaw blade.Good luck of your lorry load of tyres i got rid of mine as i couldnt turn them over any more got very weak me lol:))))

PLEASE BE CAREFULL AS IT DOES CATCH THE WIRE TYRE REINFORCEMENTS.

That's great. I had a few tyres but got rid of them when I moved :(( I wish I had kept them.

looks great mark, like the shape, good intsructions, not like the instructions in a flat pack hahaha

Hywel whatever you do do not put a ad in your local paper wanting spare wheels and tyres.as you will get up one morning and you will have a garden full lol.

Sanbaz i am pretty good with flat packs always have to have me jewels with me though as she reads them and i dont lol.So normally if im on my own i always have many parts left.lol

lol mark im the same i read and baz fixes, he never reads the instructions haaha

Wow, love it. Great idea. I suppose it could be painted any color one wants. I'd love to see it planted up.
Thanks.

Wonderful to see the finished project...it's attractive and the price is right! lol
