    Absolutely love it! It's so great to see this from someone who has done it firsthand! Can you tell us how you did it?

    It's amazing what a little paint can do for tires. If only that was an option while they were still on our cars!

    We always used to use painted tractor tires for planters back on the farm!

    What kind of paint did you use & how do you keep the dirt in tire for the flowers an how do you stack them so they wont fall?

    it was pretty easy- i spray painted the tires on saturday- then we leveled the ground, put three tires down first, then almost filled the tires with more dirt then topped off with potting soil after planting the plants, we than put more dirt in the back of the tires to bring the next row higher and to help hold the row of tires up. then filled those tires with more dirt topped by potting soil with plants. Now its been raining allday so lets hope it doesn't was away.. :) I love it..

    how did you put the flowers inside of the tires? did you line the tires with liner? or did you put big planting pots inside the tires? then the flowers?

    just filled the tires with lots of dirt/topsoil. I planted all the plants in the dirt not in the pots.. Good luck. I have to respray paint my tires this year they faded.
