I have been growing pottatoes in tyres for some weeks now.

Why in tyres? What is under the tyres? Soil? Cement? Other?

I decided to see how it worked out. Grass is under the tyres. One garden
is full of tomatos, another in Kumara, another with garlic, one 1/2 full
of garlic and some (non heading) broccoli and the last spring onions,
carrots & lettuce. I wasn't going to do spuds, then decided to & thought
tyres was worth a try. One measly handful down so far.

It makes no sense, really. Nothing is gained by planting potatoes that way,
except you don't need to bend down quite as much to harvest them.
