How to Grow Peanuts at Home Using Old Tires – A Sustainable and Cost-Effective Method

Peanuts are ready to harvest about 4–5 months after planting, when the foliage begins to yellow.

Gently pull up the plant and shake off the soil. You’ll find clusters of peanuts clinging to the roots.

Dry the peanuts in a warm, shaded area for a few days before storing or roasting.

Bonus Tips
Rotate peanut crops yearly if you're reusing the same tires.

Mix in a small amount of bone meal or organic fertilizer to boost yield.

Companion plants like beans and peas can help enrich the soil with nitrogen.

Final Thoughts
Growing peanuts in old tires is a fun, affordable, and eco-smart way to enjoy fresh, homegrown snacks. Whether you're tight on space or just love sustainable gardening hacks, this method brings together creativity, nutrition, and practicality.
