...is one of the subject lines of a new thread over at my favorite haunt, the Forestry Forum.
That just cracks me up! And the fact that there's plenty of advice for the guy who's thinking about doing such a thing is hilarious.
Apparently, all you need is some hay or grass clippings to put the taters in. It's great come harvest time, because you can just flip the tires over, and the heat is greater in a tire than in the ground, so they apparently grow better.
Who's up for Goodyear spuds?

That's how we grow 'em here, too. Anybody here will tell you it just makes good sense. Two tires stacked on top of each other make for an easy raised planter bed for any plant. Here, everyone is always looking for any tricks to extend the growing season. At 3500 ft. and the same latitude as the U.P., it's pretty short.
We have several old tires buried under the snow in the garden as I type.
Of, course we have a population density here of 6.2 people per square mile , as opposed to Michigan's 175, so perhaps we are a little less concerned with aesthetics than y'all.
That's funny...I'd imagine given the right circumstances, and a less close proximity to my neighbors, I just might give that a try. Plus, if it's what everybody's doing, you've gotta fit in, right?
Yessir. It's all about the fitting in.
