RM, I know them halfburied tires painted wid whitewash gives yo place a real classy look. I had my tires changed back in Febrearu and insted of paying em 23 dollars to dispose of em I brought home wid me and told my wife that I was gonna halfburied 2 of em on each of our driveway and paint em white and my wife told told me NOyou blankey, blankey ain't so I decided to put em around 4 early tomato plants. They really do help tomatos and peppers get a early start growing.
