Question

I got a tractor tyre, i`d like to use for flower bed, do i need to do any thing to tyre before planting?  

Answer 1

I put mine on a board so I could move it around and drilled holes in the bottom of the wood for drainage. It stands at the side of my drive so didn't want the soil to wash away at the bottom.

Love this idea my drive way is so boring with bin storage

I turned a large plastic planter upside down & put the tyres over it, made it more mobile & easy to slide around.  

Answer 2

You can paint the outside with emulsion to make it pretty.
