so i found a spot in a semi wooded area (it has a few really bright and sunny spots) near my house it has a few tires that have been thrown back there and i was considering planting a few plants in some of them, the area is frequently used by kids on bikes (there are some bike ramps back there, and it looks like some people drink back there as well... i am new to the whole gardening thing but i would like to plant some food back there that really does not need a lot of care and it will pretty much grow itself so anyone interested can harvest the goods
would it be a good idea to fill the tires with dirt to make a mini raised bed and what would be some good companion plants to put in there to get the maximum yield from that space

which attracts beneficial insects such as bee balm
or lavender. nice for color as well
