Creating inside out tire planters is a fantastic way to recycle old tyres and bring a touch of creativity to your garden. Here’s how to transform those worn-out tyres into unique plant pots.

Materials Needed:

• Old rubber tyres
• Sharp utility knife or tyre cutter
• Paint (optional)
• Potting soil
• Plants or seeds of your choice

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tyres: Start by cleaning the tyres thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. If desired, you can paint the exterior of the tyre in vibrant colours to add a splash of personality to your garden.

2. Cut the Tyre: Using the utility knife, carefully cut the tyre along the sidewall, about a third of the way up. This cut will create the rim of the planter when you flip the tyre inside out.

3. Flip the Tyre: Once you have your cut, gently push the sidewalls of the tyre inward. This will give you a lovely rounded planter that displays the tread pattern beautifully.

4. Fill the Planter: Place a layer of small stones or gravel at the bottom of the planter for drainage. Next, fill the tyre with potting soil, leaving enough space for your chosen plants or seeds.

5. Planting: Arrange your plants or sow seeds within the planter. Opt for vibrant flowers, herbs, or even vegetables, depending on your preference and the amount of sunlight the planter will receive.

6. Watering: Once planted, give the tyre planter a good watering, ensuring the soil is moist but not overly saturated.

7. Placement: Decide where to position your inside out tyre planters. They can serve as eye-catching focal points in your garden or make charming additions to patios and balconies.

With a bit of creativity and effort, you’ll have transformed simple tyres into quirky and functional planters that will enhance your outdoor space. Enjoy your gardening!
