| | | 3-Tyre Plant Pot
We took our usual plastics and cardboard to the recycling point and I spotted a skip full of old tyres. I asked the workers there if I could have a tyre or two and they said to help myself... so I did.
And I made a plant pot for my lavender... 
I'm sure you have all made much more interesting 'plant pots' out of things you've had lying around / donated / found, etc. so why not upload them here?... and then I can pinch your ideas 
Jenny

Not a plant pot, but another use for old tyres. I have a new allotment which is on a slope, gets quite steep at the top, and I am getting tyres to build terraces and steps with. Other people on the site have done the same and it looks surprisingly smart.
I'll load some pics of it when its done, but the way things are shaping up, that could be quite a while....

I travel past a little group of 5-6 cottages out in the country on my way to work and on the communal patch of grass they have got 4 tyres, painted white and planted out beautifully all through the year.
I would imagine that the recycling places would be happy for you to take their tyres beacuse we have just had a bil for a new tyre on the car and there was a £1.20 disposal charge for the old one.

They are also good for growing potatoes in. You just add another tyre when the potatoes grow up. |

A relative of mine was very friendly with another gardener on an allotment they share. Sadly the other gardener passed away, but he left my relative a pair of leather working boots in his will. These are now planted up and look very decorative as pots in his garden. A fitting memorial, if ever there was one. | | | |
