Why I'm Planting Roses in Used Tires
We're planting in tires as "bottomless planters" or garden edging for our field roses. Viewers and customers alike have asked us why we do it. It comes down to a cost & benefit comparison with other solution. We looked at planters and garden edging solutions made from wood, metal, plastic and ceramic, and they all posed challenged. Some were too expensive (compared to free! for old tires). Some were vulnerable to damage from our lawnmower & string trimmer. Some would begin to rot as soon as we put them down. Almost all would have taken more time and work to build, install & maintain.
So it really came down to a matter of practicality. Anyhow, I remain open to better options - but this will do the job for the time.
