My wife and I are putting together some planters made out of old tires. Talk about redneck!
We're just cutting one side out of them. We got one done already and planted two tomato plants and a jalapeno plant in it. Hipockets you got any suggestions for good veggies or fruit to plant in a set up like that? Any suggestions on fertilizing it also. We don't have a tiller or nothing. But, we got lots of dirt and lots of old tires.
I'll have to take some pics in the next few day's to give you an idea of how we're doing it.
12/24/12 is the best fert. on the market. any garden supply has it . i would use bout 2 cups fert. for each tire.cucombers will do great in a tire. plant about 8 seeds per tire . they will run everywhere. plant you some blk seeded simson leaf leutuce in 1 tire.when the leutuce gets bout 8 in. tall pinch the bigest leaves off to eat. it will continue to grow. don't pull the plant up . plant 3 squash seeds in a tire . 3 pepper plants per tire. you could buy you a few landscape timbers for about 5 bucks each and make you a big bed,,, thats what i would do to go with the tires.with 2 cattle pannels and 3 t post you can break you a row up with a shovel and a hoe as long as uour pannels and drive your post and stand your pannels up like a fenct and plant kentucky wanders green snapp beans. get the poll beans not the bush beans, plant them along the bottom of your fence about 4 ins. apart. fert. with 12/24/12. you will have so many grean beans you'll be feeding them to the hogs.lol them beans will cover that whole fence solid. when planting seeds , after they come up you will have skipps (seeds that wont come up) go back and plant your skipps, they will catch up with the rest of them.radishes will do good in a tire.
