Lawn division to planted flower border area strip

 That strip of old tire would make an excellent border between the grass and where the flowers are planted! You could hit it with the yard trimmer and it wouldn't ruin it! If you went over it with the lawn mower it would likely ruin the lawn mower! It would never crack in the way that plastic does! There are ways it could be trimmed so that it anchors well into the soil. And it could be placed in the ground in such a way that it could not be distinguished from what that is dedicated for sale as that in the store. © 2022 Thomas Murphy

  Today is 12 13 2022 I will provide an introduction to this blog as well as my tips on safely upcycling tires as well as more great ideas. But here are some important ideas. 1. New razor blade in a full handle secure carpet knife.  Blade will only be good for one or two cuts. 2.  Secure a tire in vise while cutting.  If you part an initial mid depth cut and cut there again that works better. 3. Never pull razor toward you other hand. 4. If you have kevlar gloves wear them. 5. Blades can snap.  Wear full shield eye protection with no ricochet areas for blade to travel. ****"" Tires are a problem. But just think of all the latent utility in that strong, flexible, water proof and abrasion resistant material!!!!!  You've got something there! *****'.
