Used tires for raised beds and cold frames!?

as published on ecogeek!

I put used tires around my tomato, cucumber, pumpkins etc. Early season provides windbreak and warms the soil for earlier season start. Fill the tires with compost as the plants grow so they start budding with 16+ inches (two tires) of nutritional goodies available.

Throw an old storm window over a stack of two tires and you have a nice 'cold frame' for early or late season planting. And no $2 disposal fee!

I wonder if italian seasoning herbs would grow better in Perelli's?
