Courgettes - any success on a muck pile?

[VirginVegGrower]

I just added water
Nah, really, it's just more of a pain because of the extra watering. I grew them in tyres with compost because I didn't have any room left anywhere else, so I gave it a go.
I added some waterey horse muck occasionally [ had a load offf someone, so put it in a barrel and added water to the top, then used that as a boost now and then, or when I remembered, which amounts to the same thing ]

I put a pumpkin in the compost bin and like the others, there was loads of very lush foliage, but a very small pumpkin. The other pumpkins (in tyres) were huge.

How do you grow in tyres please?

First, get your tyre, mine came from the local recycling center, she wasn't happy about letting me have some but I promised never to bring them back
I've been slowly making a new border to dig around the edge of the garden so I put down cardboard, put the tyres on top, filled them with the compost heap stuff, packed into the walls as well, then put the plant in the middle when it was big enough.
Added bonus that when the plant comes out, I dig in the compost to make the border soil better.

Thank you - think I will give this a go!
