Making borders
To make a border for fencing beds or a lawn, you need to cut off the sides of the tire. To do this, a through cut must be made at the transition between the sidewall and the projector.
Then a knife with a large blade is inserted into it, and the side is cut in a circle. The movement should go upward on itself. In this case, the rubber will not clamp the knife.
After cutting off both sidewalls, you need to unscrew the tread.
After this, the resulting hoop is cut crosswise into a ribbon. Since there is a cord in the rubber, the transverse dissolution is performed with a grinder or a hacksaw.
Having made a sufficient number of such tapes, you can use them to protect beds, garden paths, lawns, etc.
Making a compost bin
To make a compost barrel, you need to cut off the sidewalls of several tires and unscrew the hoops from them. Then, at the location of the barrel, 2 posts are temporarily driven into the ground. The distance between them should be slightly less than the tire diameter.This will allow them to support the hoops.
The first hoop is placed between the posts and the compost mass is compacted into it.
Then the next hoop is installed on top and is also pressed in with weeds, leaves, etc. To ensure that the fertilizer is ready by autumn, it is advisable to pour a bucket of ready-made compost on top of the last hoop. The bacteria living in it will quickly process the fresh mass laid below.
In the center of the formed barrel, using a crowbar, a hole is punched to the very bottom. A plastic tube with perforation is inserted into it. It will provide air access to all layers of the processed mass.
Next, the supporting posts can be pulled out, since the pressed hoops are held together without them. To prevent the mixture from drying out, it is better to wrap the barrel with plastic wrap. Since there is ready-made compost at the top, you can plant a pumpkin in it. It will grow and produce a harvest while the green mass underneath is being processed.
Making round beds
The same hoops as for the barrel can be used as round beds. They are filled with compost, after which cucumbers, pumpkins, herbs, etc. are planted in them. Due to the fact that the roots of the plant will be located in a black tire heated in the sun, the harvest will be harvested a little earlier than simply when planted in the ground.
