tire planters

Using a lawnmower tire, which I painted, made the perfect planter for ivy. This adds a lot of color to my otherwise drab exterior wall of our deck. We plant to do one in lime green, blue and red...it will look like lifesavers hanging off of the wall

    Cute! But If you get rain beware. If rain collects in the tire it can breed mosquitoes/malaria. Old tires are famous for this- the rubber heats up the captive water and it is perfect for mosquitoes. A friend of mine ended up with encephalitis - the CDC found the culprit- an old tire in the creek by their home.

    They can always drill holes in the area that is going to be the "bottom" for drainage....
