thoughts on going green

Using recycled tires...it is potato planting time in Zone 8. Find a small independent tire shop. They will love you for wanting some of their tires. You will need at least a stack of 5. (Wear gloves when working with them, watch for metal.) When you have them home, put the largest tire on the bottom and fill with the best organic compost mix you can find. Put your seed potato, in pieces, about 4 inches apart, 2 inches deep. Top dress with compost and leaves or straw. Water deeply. (Water deeply once a week if no significant rain has fallen.) When you see green sprouts in 7-10 days, put your next tire on your stack and repeat. (YES, you are covering up the sprouts, but they will keep pushing through.) When you finish you 5 tier stack, just water when things look droopy. When it is potato getting time, you will just push the stack over and your tires will be full of potatoes!
Please send us pictures of your tires and your potato harvest.
