As the plant growing taller, more soils will be adding in, inch by inch, until the plant growing enough potatoes then harvesting it is really a breeze by lifting up the 2 sides sliding door and the soils will fall to side with potatoes.

I think they look so much better than old tires, but each to their own. I think it is just the appearance. The tires tend to look bad. Perhaps is you painted them or even covered them with more dirt. As a kid on our farm we had raised beds for the potatoes so they were pretty much growing about ground level but the raised beds are not so packed making for what I think are better and bigger potatoes.
