How to get rid of an old tire and get a new huge planter...

[KatyaR]

1. My mom did this, but not to that extreme.

She would take old tires from my dad's tractor, paint them silver, and put them in the yard as raised-bed planters. She won Yard of the Month once in our little town, she was so proud.

I love the idea of turning them inside out to make a more rounded bowl, how fun is that! You'd never know it had been a tire.
