Paint the tyres and fill the centre with plants

Try Pinterest.  Also cut them in half  and place upright for yard edge  or lay halves flat for retaining wall.  I'm sure if you google tire upcycle you will get a ton of ideas.

The cup and saucer are my favorite. I don;t know about the pink. I would probably do yellow. Do you like them?If we were close I would take some off your hands. Let me know what you end up doing.

Julia · Answer

We use them as planters . tomatoes grow well and by drilling 3 hole like trellis around the edge and using a canning jar ring hold it together. Makes a great bean .support!use old clothes line pole and tree branches too.

I put 1 around the clean out from a plugged sewer line and then planted flowers in it to disguise the ugly pipe sticking out of the ground. You have lots though, they are great as planters.

Janice · Answer

You can cut in half so that the tire can be placed around the base of a tree to add soil and contain it before planting flowers around the tree. You could also use this process to mulch around the tree or any other plantings.
