More recently, the vintage style has returned to the vogue of landscape design. Together with him, it became again relevant and interesting to decorate flower beds in the garden with the help of car tires

Tires that have served their life are not so difficult to find. They are easy to use because they are easy to cut and paint. Even self-creation of such a flower bed will be easy and effective. Moreover, the designs can turn out to be strict, and simple, and unusual. In any case, such an element will be an excellent opportunity to surprise the guests of the site and neighbors at the summer cottage.

It seems to many gardeners that flower beds made of automobile rubber do not look very modern and clutter up the space of the site. However, if desired, using this element, you can create beautiful and amazing garden masterpieces. The costs for such garden parts will require very little, but this is not the only advantage of using tires as a flower bed.

Due to its dark gray color, with the help of tires, you can create clear and understandable lines on the territory. Thanks to them, the site will not look neglected and sloppy. With the help of a spray can, it will not be difficult to paint a tire even for a person who performs such a procedure for the first time. Moreover, the color scheme of such a flower bed can be absolutely any. You can also repaint the tire over and over again, creating a certain contrast with the colors planted in it. The shape of the tire allows you to visually create reliability and stability, due to which the atmosphere inside the garden becomes cozy and pleasant. The bus can be changed in shape. For these purposes, you only need an electric jigsaw or a sharp knife. In addition, the tires have a long service life and ease of movement, if you need to place the flower bed in another place. Foreign tires are much better amenable to work processes, therefore, if possible, you should choose them.

Features of actions with tires

First you need to come up with the design and shape of the future flower bed. The tire is then placed on a hard surface (asphalt or concrete, for example). With the help of chalk, you need to draw a line on the side of the tire. It is along it that excess parts will be cut off. You need to cut out the rubber along the contour with an electric jigsaw or knife. Before painting, you can treat the surface of the tire with white spirit. But you can also apply paint immediately.

It is first required to paint the tire with white paint, and only then apply a colored agent. This will help create a smoother, more vibrant base shade. Often, summer residents use a couple of shades from the color palette in painting, due to which there is the possibility of creating interesting and spectacular patterns. After the coloring agent has dried, the flowerbed itself must be filled with earth, and all the necessary crops must be planted. Very often the tires are placed directly on the ground or suspended by chains. From different tire sizes, you can lay out an interesting flower garden in the form of a pyramid. The best crops grow here with compact roots. But before starting work, you need to clean the rubber surface from dirt and dust, wash it well in order to additionally protect the tools used from blunting.

How to turn out the rubber correctly to create an attractive flower bed?

During the installation and manufacture of the flower bed, you can use rubber, both from the outside and from the inside. The rubber turned over to the wrong side is also called the "a la Peterhof" flowerpot. Many summer residents also paint such rubber in a marble shade. However, for the construction of such a flowerpot, you will need not just a tire, but a full-fledged wheel from a car. A jagged or wavy line must be drawn on the side area of the tire. She will be a kind of contour of the future petals of the flowerpot. Then you should cut out the rubber along these lines and begin the process of eversion. For this purpose, the prepared wheel element is laid with the cut area downward. Then the gardener needs to hold the disc with his foot, and turn the tire in stages, picking up its edges.

Women shouldn't do such hard work. A strong man's hand is required here. In addition, you need to protect your hands with cloth gloves. Further, it is required to apply paint to the flowerpot, on both sides, but not on the entire surface, but only to the part at the level of which the soil will be poured. Look good in such flower beds fuchsia, petunia and bacopa.
