What Can I Plant In Reclaimed Lorry Tyres?

Question

Hi there, I have 6 lorry tyres with wheels still attacted. I live in West Coast of Scotland, Glencoe. Trees, shrubs, flowers anything. I’d appreciate any advice as I’m all self taught but can’t seem to find what I’m looking for online. I don’t want to spend a chunk on a lovely maple for it to get stuck and I can’t get it out! But if I’m the first so be it aha. Thank you for your time, Hayley Bobz

Answer 1

If you cannot remove the rims, then you will want to treat this as a very shallow pot. There are many things that you can grow in there. Small plants and herbs, like dill or thyme, are good candidates. There are plenty of ornamentals, too. These articles will offer more insight to what will grow happily.
