If you have old car tyres to spare, you don't have to throw them away. They'll make an excellent raised bed or a home for geraniums in the garden, on the balcony or on the terrace.

Used vertically, tyres also make excellent hanging baskets or, when laid flat, planters. But experts from Pelargonium for Europe – which represents several geranium growers – say it’s important to make sure no excess water accumulates in the tyre.
