I have the offer of some old car tyres and was wondering about using them to grow spuds in.
On the 'acres' I have a sizable block of concrete on which I could stack at least 4 towers of tyres.
From what I understand you set 2 or 3 potatoes in one tyre in a mixture of peat and soil and as they sprout and grow you add tyres and soil rather than earthing them up.

Anyone tried this?
