Not long ago I got an email from a fellow Freecycle member about a way to use old tires. I mentioned it to George because he had a whole bunch he was trying to do something with and I thought it was a great idea. Well, we decided not to make Tater Towers since neither of us really eat a lot of potatoes and it didn't seem like something we could market. George came up with something better though. Apparently when George was a little demon kid, his Mom had some planters that were made from tires. When he first told me about them I have to admit I had my doubts. I looked them up online to see if I could find pics and what I saw were almost as ugly as I had pictured in my mind.
I have faith in George though and I waited to see what they would end up looking like before making my mind up completely. The next day I got an email from George. He'd made one and painted it and everything. That really excited me. it was so much more beautiful than I had ever thought it could be. We've made several now and we've come up with some really interesting color combinations. Tires have never been prettier! Anything can be planted in them and they are virtually indestructible so they are well worth making or buying. trust me, after watching george wrestle with them, i suggest you just buy them if you can, it's far FAR easier and much less chance of giving yourself a heart attack!
