@antfiresbetter They're ready and waiting for the beginning of June. I'll make a film of what I'm doing.

Have you planted in your containers yet? I do hope you filmed it!

Potatoes should work very well. Also squashes and the like. This way you'll remember where you planted them so it'll be easier to water the roots.

I grew a few things in tyres last year; worked well for herbs as it contains them from spreading, and doubled tyres up to grow carrots very successfully. Aiming to grow parsnipsin tyres as well this year.

Growing food in tires grows Toxic food!

@MrCoolahoop Mine are fine. If you're at all worried, then give them a thorough wash out before you use them. Everything that I've grown in mine have done just as well as the ones in the ground.

My Doctor says that growing food in Tires is Toxic! He told me this after I had used Tires for growing food. He said don't eat food grown in Tires. You can't just wash it off, the toxins get in side of the food.

@MrCoolahoop Each to their own opinion. If you don't want to, then don't, but I'll continue to use them. I've looked on websites in the UK and they're all for it. They're even showing them on children's gardening websites. Lots of plot holders on my site use them.

@neilston1 Growing herbs in containers is great, especially for mint, then it doesn't take over. Hope you're all having a great time.
