Advantages

• Wall won’t crack when frozen and thawed.

• Water infiltrates trough the tire center and it doesn’t effect the structure of the wall.

• Plants can grow.

• An alternative solution of wasted tires.

Project

• They first packed the tires;

• Then they excavated a bed behind the tires for culinary herbs;

• A retaining wall with redwood was constructed to hold the hill;

• They used the sand to fill the tires.
