Repurposed Tires as Flower Planters
Not a new idea, but a fun one. Tire flower planters two ways: wall mounted and 'tire-swing' inspired.

Careyon Sep 17, 2016This is one of the prettiest tire ideas that I have ever seen!!! How did you hang it on the wall? I think something like this hung on a fence, on a porch, or even by a mailbox would be cute too. I wonder if turning the tire inside out would make a larger planting area? And how that is accomplished? Maybe talking with someone at Les Schwab could shed some lite win this idea!

Have a question about this project?
what type of paint is needed
I used an outdoor-rated (Valspar) spray paint. More details on blog link above. :)
How do you keep bees from building nest in top part of tire?
I haven't had that issue. Maybe that's something specific to your region? This project is from several years ago and that tire did hang for quite a few years (probably at least 4) and I never encountered bees building a nest in it. Sorry I can't be more helpful, Linda!
I have tried this but no success in keeping my plant alive. What plant is reccommended for tires that don't have alot of soil depth?
