Nowadays, most manufacturers of goods strive for rationality and environmental friendliness of both production itself and manufactured products.
This trend is dictated by economic reasons and the new fashion.
Modern trends in the development of production are also manifested in the society of consumers of goods and services. Even craftsmen of all trades began to make maximum use of secondary raw materials and supplies.
A special place in this process is occupied by used car tires. Today, in residential areas of cities in the courtyard of almost every residential building there is a flower bed made of tires, not to mention private houses.
Do-it-yourself flowerbeds are made by residents of houses without resorting to the help of craftsmen or local authorities.
Flowerbeds are diverse in size and shape of the compositions. If space permits, flower beds made of tires with your own hands can be made in the form of complex compositions using tires of different sizes.
Most of all, flower beds are painted. Flower beds in the composition can be painted in different colors, which makes them very bright and attractive, as well as the flowers themselves growing in them.
How to make a flowerbed from tires without resorting to sophisticated technology?
To begin with, you should draw a plan of the site on which you plan to place the flower beds.
The plan will allow you to accurately determine the installation location of single flower beds and determine the possibility of placing a composition of several flower beds.
Before you start installing a single flowerbed from your own tires, you should prepare the place for its installation. It is necessary to align the area well so that the tire becomes in place with the entire surface, horizontally and stands steadily.
So that the plants do not suffer from a lack of moisture, do not put the tire on asphalt or a concrete base. Exceptions are possible in the case of planting in a flower bed plants that consume little water.
After choosing and preparing a place for a future flower bed, the tire is installed in place. Checking the horizontal tire installation is easy. It is enough to put a board on the diameter of the tire and put on it a wide container with water. By the level of the water surface, you can see the presence and direction of the slope, if any.
Compliance with the horizontal installation of the tire is important, because over time, the soil in the tire will begin to move towards the slope or completely wash out, as the rain passes. If there is no bias, then the flower bed will not lose its original form.
It is necessary to lay the soil in the flowerbed with a margin on its shrinkage after watering. In any case, it is necessary to prepare a reserve of soil for addition as it shrinks.
To paint a flower bed should be before it is filled with soil. In order for the flowerbed not to lose its appearance even with excessive shrinkage of the soil, the inside of the tire should be painted, at least its upper third.
If possible, it is better to apply the paint in several layers. The color of the paint can be selected taking into account the color of the future vegetation of the flower bed. You can paint the flower bed with paints of different colors.
If tires from a truck are used, then stiffeners located at an angle will stand out well in a different color than the color of the main part of the tire.
You can make not only single flower beds from your own tires. Compositions from several flower beds will look very beautiful .
Combinations of tires for cars and trucks can be used for tire bed compositions. They will differ in diameter, height and tread pattern, which will greatly enhance the overall appearance of the composition.
Putting tires on top of each other is not very good. After rains, flower beds can leak at the junction, which will end in the formation of plaque from soil mud.
A creative approach to choosing the color of paints can create the uniqueness of each composition.
After planting plant or seed material, the flower bed can be considered finished.
Do-it-yourself flowerbeds for tires with your own hands. For them, this is entertainment and a good lesson in labor.
