@gardenofeden Be sure to have barriers between the tires. Chemical leeching though is a real thing (eek!)

We realize that many people fear that tires may leach toxins into soil and food grown into them. While we can't say this isn't happening, we can attest that we've used them for 8+ years with great success. Eden greens continue to be the tastiest ones we've ever had, because our soil is alive! From micro organisms to fungi to earthworms, our soil is constantly breaking its constituents down. In this way, nature is able to alchemize a reasonable toxic load. Compared to the extremely toxic inputs that crops are exposed to on a regular basis from air to water to pesticides, we'll take our greens any day!

Great reply!
Did you know there is fungus that u can put on oil spills and it literally lives off of it and then decomposes into PURE rich usable soil!
So a few tires is NOTHING.
Nature FTW
