I wouldn't have thought about chemical exposure from the tyres but that is a good point to consider. I wonder if you can line them with something before adding the soil?<br /><br />I hope you had a lovely weekend ~Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766825872703394586.post-1863467155240564932010-02-28T08:21:17.800-08:002010-02-28T08:21:17.800-08:00Looks good there in your kitchen Julie.

I don't mean to be an alarmist, but it's a good idea to be as careful as possible about limiting your exposure to chemicals. So many harmful ones are lurking in all kinds of things. Remember when railroad ties were commonly used in landscapes for edging? At least they were where I grew up in the Midwest. They were full of harmful preservatives that gradually poisoned the soil and groundwater. Then pressure-treated lumber was used for years. Now some of those sites where the lumber was treated have been declared Superfund sites by the EPA. Anyway, you might want to do as Claude suggested to be on the safe side. I'm too much of a worry wart...walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766825872703394586.post-19396796466719015712010-02-28T05:51:20.326-08:002010-02-28T05:51:20.326-08:00I am not sure were my comment went!? but I want to...I am not sure were my comment went!? but I want to say that I am excited for you about the collards, and what a wonderful meal you are having due to there inspiration!

I...What-ya mean "I ain't proud" <br /><br />I'd be prouder than punch... that's what my ancesters woulda called "eatin' high on the hog"<br /><br />As for the chemical deterioration in the tires... well, it's a pretty common practice to grow potatoes in tire towers, and the slow deterioration shouldn't be too serious... changing out the soil periodically, like once a year, would probably get you beyond it, although I think as much as three years would still be safe... if you have a compost heap that wouldn't me much of an issue at all.<br /><br /> Of course, if tires were still made from real live natural rubber, this wouldn't be so much of a problem. But most tires are made of petroleum products now-days...Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568424354642247198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766825872703394586.post-84592795330755720722010-02-27T20:39:04.837-08:002010-02-27T20:39:04.837-08:00Hi Julie

One thing to consider with the collards being grown in the tires: SAM said the slow-but-sure degradation of the chemicals (stabilizers, etc.) in the tires might pose a problem "down the road."walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766825872703394586.post-50204165211470834962010-02-27T16:24:31.441-08:002010-02-27T16:24:31.441-08:00Looks good!
