A study was conducted to demonstrate the usefulness of discarded rubber tires as beds for different vegetables. Fourteen (14) old rubber tires were used to construct a verticulture model. These tires were trimmed to obtain a. pot- like structure. These were stacked into a pyramid structure using welded galvanized iron rod and pipes. The growing medium consisted of 1:1 garden soil and compost. Six (6) species of vegetables were grown namely pechay, heading lettuce, mustard, tomato, bellpepper, and pepper. Results showed that rubber tires can be used as growing beds fir different rubles. Stacking them in the form of pyramid provided a greater space for reduction. Verticulture using rubber tires proved to be an appropriate technology in urban agriculture system.
