Recycling..

Well done... very attractive :o)

Very clever. Another way I've seen them used is the tyres kept as they were and stacked on top of each other then planted with potatoes. As the potatoes need earthing up, add another tyre and soil/compost. Then as the potatoes grow, you can take the tyres off and check their progress without disturbing them if not yet ready to pick!

Good bit of recycling. Have seen these years ago cut into swan shapes but haven't a clue how to do it though you could I'm sure judging by the results with this one

This is brillinat!
how very clever no one would think they were tyres, no chance of them blowing over either!
well done

x x x

They look grand Usernut...well done you! There are far too many dumped tyres in the country. Was it easy to turn them inside out? Nothing against your paint...it looks fab... but I think I'd like them au naturel!

My brother did the potato thing last year Paul & it worked very well.

thanks..
Fluff, I actually think it looks better natural as well, when I uploaded the pic I saw the natural one behind it and it looks better..
will keep this one for the back and the 2 natural ones for the front.

They'll look absolutely great with hostas in too...lovely contrast.

gosh your so clever user, they look great, look forward to seeing hosta`s in them :o)

Wow! They look really good Cant wait to see them when they are planted up and in bloom :-)

I,d like to take the credit but it was something i,d seen years ago..lol
Not really San, this is me who just found out my sweet pea's aren't vegetables..lol

lol user,, your kidding right ;o))

look brilliant, love the crinkly edge, nice touch.

Brilliant, well done - how did you manage to get that wavy edge so regular. You must be a dab hand with a stanley knife. I prefer au naturel as well, somehow more impressive if you can see what it might have been originally.

They look good User ,I `ve just asked hubby if he`s got any to spare, I`m looking forward to seeing them in the future........

Brilliant Idea Usernut and a good bit of recycling, I suppose next year will be a Goodyear for the Hosta's hehehe .... geddit? .... Goodyear ... tyres ......... doh! :o))))

oh nooo bob, lol very witty ;o))

Bob, you dont get any better, do you?? Lol!
Brilliant idea, usernut!

Nope :o))))))))))))))))))))

;~)D

Bamboo, the top of the sidewall on the tyre is soft, so easily cut.
Bob, I should have thought of that..lol.
thanks everyone :-)
San, i,d never seen sweet peas ever before, till I saw some pics on here.. lovely flowers but no-one ever mentioned the pea pods LOL.
My wife had a fit of laughing today when I told her about my sweet pea seedlings ;-)

lol user, they are one of my favourite flowers in summer, i just love the scent they give ummm, as a child i thought they were peas you ate to :o) we live and learn, ive learned so much on here, :o)

Great blog Usernut, So thats how you do it? I've always wanted to know. Well done on the recycling front. :~))

Blimey they look great, well done.

Going to nominate this for GoYpedia Funky Garden Ideas :o)

Thanks everyone :-)

And I've nominated it for container garden ideas!

They look great. I had some tyres I got rid of them when I moved. I wish I'd kept them now.. lol
