I have heard of this. Only instead of hay, they added more dirt with each tire. I am thinking of trying it next year! ![[thumb]](im/graemlins/thumb.gif)

I did try this one year, and it is great way to grow potatoes if you have limited space, plus harvest is very easy, you just knock the tires over and pick up the potatoes. There have been many discussions about this before, doing a forum search brought up these Forum results If you are interested in reading more about this.

You are welcome Amy!!!! ![[kissies]](im/graemlins/kissies.gif)
Keeping notes is great way of learning and remebering things, I have been gardening for many years, and I still write new things down I find or want to try/remember. Be sure to post your results on using the tires when you do this, that is how we learn is from our own experiences and others. It is a fun way of growing things, esp if you have a bunch of old tires laying around, or most people will gladly give them to you to get rid of them.
