Is it safe to plant vegetables in tires?
I'd say, Stop growing in tires, but please do your own research, im confident when you do you will see why you should stop!

ive just gotten a dozen or so tractor tyres for a vegetable garden, i **was** kinda worried about the chemicals, then i realised we live 50M from a major highway and my partner smokes a pack of durreis every couple of days, ill just line mine with plastic sheets and add some drain holes so they dont collect the water. Ill let you know in 30 years if i died or not.

I don't currently do it but like he did say people have done it for years. I would have to see an actual plant analysis done to be extremely worried about it myself. Water sitting in a tire saturated the whole year with the extra heat a tire causes would probably effect the water more than bucket. Is it ideal maybe not. But if it is bad then all these raised beds using old railroad ties and treated lumber are as bad or worse!

Smoking has been proven to be decidedly unhealthy. Nobody questions that. Many of the same toxins you claim are in car tires also exist in plastic containers yet you use them. Rubber car tires are a lot more stable than you make them out as being. Were it not so, they wouldn’t be utilized in playgrounds, gardens, etc. I challenge you to find ONE documented toxic tater related illness… I’m supposing you would have utilized that information in your otherwise excellent video. Oh! Let’s make sure everyone disposes of their rubber and urethane/ plastic garden hoses, too! Can’t be too careful!

I've made three large lorry tyre planters that I've been growing herbs and veg in for a couple of years. I cut off the side walls so there's not much tyre left. If they leach chemicals, the chemicals will go down into the ground and not sideways in the plants. I'm not too worried about it.

Cover the entire tire, both the insides and outsides with a plastic tarp, moisture barrier or seal it with something so the rubber won't touch the soil and the chemicals won't be able to leach into the soil. So this way you will be able to use the tire as a holding structure with a safe material touching the soil.

Thank you for the surprising information, but it does lead me to a question regarding other plant species. I have a HUGE number of succulents that are in my greenhouse. I loathe pesticides, however am in a mealybug metropolis and have settled on using either neem oil or an organic Bonide product for use as systemic pesticides (hence the reason for isolating them in my greenhouse...I know systemic pesticides are detrimental to pollenators, and succulents do produce blooms). With the toxicity of tires being as it is, doesn't it also affect the pollinators as well? I'm extremely conscious of their importance, as well as the dangers involved with anything that hits the plant roots, so I'd love your feedback.

So, are people saying that there isn't one type of paint or sealant that is non-toxic that could be used to coat the tires inside and out that would prevent them from leaching? I don't believe it.

Genuine question - if you’re lining with plastic tarp is the danger still the same do you think? Still safer just to use for wild flowers?

Personally I would just stick to flowers. But plastic in a stable state doesn't leech as much as tyres. Hence we have plastic plant pots and although we sto call it Tarpaulin (tarp) it's now mostly made with plastic. Hope that helps.

Research and you will note that toxins and such will not make it to the fruits. The black you see is the nitrogen, phosphorus and such as these are attracted to carbon (what tires are made of) rust of which phosphorus is attracted.

Good question. Apparently not. But I imagine there hasn't been much research.

Some people use them more out of necessity; simply because they nothing else to use. Others might do it for “hipster points” if you know you know. While some do it out completely out of ignorance. People really don't know what can kill them.
