Tyres wanted

Hello. I need tyres for putting around trees we've planted. If you have some to get rid of, let me know and i will come and collect them. Prefer mt barker or strath area, but may go further.

Have you tried going down to your local tyre shops (eg Bob Jane, Beaurepair etc), they used to give away the used tyres as it saved them having to pay for disposal.

Yeah they have to pay $3 per tyre for disposal so are usually more than happy to pass them on. Just be aware you might get a lecture on how its illegal to use tyres blah blah

make sure you remove said tyres from trees before they get too big... Idiots who owned this place before us didn't and now the trees have belts.

Some of my trees are the same DC, mite have to get the angle grinder out

dont use tyres ~ use tree surrounds `~pay the price!
tyres are diffcult to get rid of and illegal to transport without a permit!

I would love to use tree surrounds, but with 500 of the little things( well actually about 650 if you include last years)... just can afford to buy them, and then the dowell to make them stand up. The other problem is that the ponies would just squish them flat i think I know tyres aren't ideal, but they do offer the trees a bit of protection..

and yeah i will remember to take them off when they start getting big enough... just the thought of having to cut them off is making me tired... i think i would have at least 3 years to wait though wouldn't I?

I have got some from a tyre place, but i know they cost money to dispose of them, so i thought if anyone else had any that they didn't want, i would take them off them and save them money, rather than save a big company money if you know what i mean

yep see your dilema ~ just a future thought when you go to get rid of them in 2 or 3 years it could cost you more than you have in the bank??

yeah we have thought of that... will cross that bridge when we get to it i guess... maybe we will make lots of jumps featuring tyres... or plant more trees

we have probably about 30odd...maybe more that you could take for free!

PM me if your interested!

Erm Gizmo, my boyfriend's farm 'grows' tyres.............

I will pm you before I go up there next.

Shaye you can have my OS hind and spare if Brendan is happt to put new ones on for free...LOL

lol. I'd try the place at Birdwood, They have stupid amounts of them stacked up against the fence.

If you go to the Hartley turn off, the old building on the corner is full of them !

After they have done their job as a tree guard, they make great arena fencing. At my old place I used to have them 2 & 3 high, filled with h.poo and pig face planted in them. It looked like a hedge.
