I just acquired an allotment and there are lots of old tyres dotted about.
I was hoping to stay pretty organic.
Do I need to get the tyres off quick?
Are they a source of pollution/toxins as they break down?
Thanks

Don't set fire to them. Then they should stay organic for a few more years.

Use them for growing spuds.

and another bouus is that if they came off a Ferrari
whatever you plant in them they will really grow fast

I dunno - wasn't it a Reliant Robin which lost a dibble Range Roller
across fields?

Something similar ;-)
A FUGITIVE at the wheel of a green Reliant Robin held six police cars and
two helicopters at bay in a high-speed chase all the way from Salisbury to
Blandford

4 tyres are better than 3 for spud production.
