My tires are whimpy tires. I would love tires that size. I could see them in the "circle in front of the wood shop.

Yes, Amy's tires were much smaller and painted, but this looks appealing also. Looks as if they don't have a grass problem as I would............but I can see how convenient this would be for keeping the veggies separated.

I think these would look great painted too. What I like about them is they are big and heavy enough so one could to sit on the edge and reach in to plant and harvest. That would be a back saver for sure. He got the tires from the trucks and tractors working at Gardenville. Surely there must be a place to get them for nothing since there is such a problem of disposing of old tires.

if regular tire stores have to take your old tires when you buy new ones, wouldn't tractor/truck maintenance stores have to do the same thing? your local feed store might know of a local tractor maintenance company - maybe you could call them . . .

or a local distribution/trucking company that has a fleet of trucks . . .

or the motor pool of the local school district - the buses have large tires, too . . .

All good suggestions, Amy................next step, getting to where they are and getting them loaded....they are HEAVY !!! Once you get them home, you could roll them to their preferred place in the garden.

For that, Carrie, we'll need the help of our cousins Cletus & Cooter and that big ole truck they go muddin' in. :)

If you hear from them, ask if they will help !!!!

just a thought . . .

These aren't as visually interesting as the Beck's, but at least the ones on the left are larger than regular car tires.

I have access to tires (actually the tire tread) from a small town tire shop. Check out local farmers, construction companies and the shops that service them. You really don't want the entire tire-- too much space lost from the side wall.
and YES they are heavy. Be sure to put them where you want them to stay.
