I use a mixture of hay and a few shovelfuls of soil...from right next to

just borrowing the topsoil, it gets put back when I knock over the
tires. I fill up the tire with hay, and then add the dirt to kind of
weight it down...one, two, or three shovelfuls, depending on the dirt
and the size of the tire.
I've heard of this method but always wondered what the effects or
consequences were, if any, of having soil and plants surrounded by rubber.
Nothing leaches out of the tire?
