only has the germination rate been excellent, but the carrots grow at set distances apart so there's no need for thinning the seedlings.

There's several options-I like using toilet paper, flour, and water. I've provided more information below and on my blog.

1 - Take a very worn out tire (best with no wires sticking out).

2 - Wash it with a degreaser, and a brush to get rid of possible oils on it.

3 - You are now ready to draw the shape of the top ending/petal you will want your tire planter to have, but before you do this, with your thumb (finger) press down to feel that where you will be drawing/cutting there is NO WIRES. If you are able to press down, that means NO WIRES there.

4 - Cut out the drawing you made with a very hard, and sharp knife. You will have another decoration piece after doing this. For example as in picture #4.

5 - Turn the tire inside out. This is somewhat difficult, but doable.

6 - Now that the tire is inside out, paint it. I used oil-based superior durability premium quality protective enamel paint (OIL PAINT). I know that what I used could be a little pricey, but you probably don't have to go to that extent.

7 - Let the tire dry well.

8 - After dried, if you want to make designs on it as I did on the RED PAINTED TIRE, you will need to used a paint that has a primer in it, or prime the spots where you will be doing the little decorations. For example, the green leaves that are painted on this RED TIRE PLANTER.

9 - You are now finished, and ENJOY!!!

mention price efficient if you're going after vintage.

So... I invented a 'one board toolbox'. One board was cut to create all the sides and bottom. Pick your funky handle of choice to start and you're on your way.

for what I am left with.) My question now is, what do I put back up there? Do I use more drywall or something else? And is there a concern about drywall transitioning to any of the other materials? I've repaired drywall before but using something else is new to me. Also, should I go ahead and put the material up now or wait until my countertops are removed and the granite put in??

I don't have a concern about water since my sink is in my island. A downdraft cooktop will be in the countertop near the backsplash.

Thanks!
