Create a Vertical Garden from Car Tyres

Prepare the Tyres

Clean the tyres thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Optionally, paint the tyres in your desired colors and let them dry completely.

Cut Tyre Openings

Using a utility knife, cut out sections of the tyres where you will place the plants. Make several evenly spaced holes around the tyre circumference.

Install Support Structure

Securely attach the tyres to a wall or sturdy vertical frame using screws or metal brackets. Ensure the structure can support the weight of the soil and plants.

Fill with Soil

Add a mixture of potting soil and compost into the tyres. Make sure the soil is firm enough to hold the plants in place.

Plant Your Garden

Carefully plant your chosen vegetation into the tyre openings. Water the plants appropriately and monitor their growth.
