Growing tomatoes upside down

I have not tried it, but I have seen it, and it sure does look like it would work. But sometimes we get such strong winds, I just am not sure if they would last, if we got a terrible storm, heck where do you put them if you have to put them inside for protection.

Hi Canellita! I haven't gotten this in an email but I did see it on tv. My husband and I looked at each other and thought it was worth looking into. I haven't had any time to do so yet. We should soon because before we know it spring will be here and it will be the growing season!

yes that is a great idea I also saw grow cukes an strawberries upside down I think its a great concept for people who live in small aptments with little porches I would like to get a few that is for sure

We saw it on TV and ended up seeing it at WalMart and bought it for $8. My grandpa only just recently planted it so I guess I'll let you know how it works.

I have Never heard of growing your tomatoes upside down but I have to admit it does sound like the perfect solution! Much better than having to pin them up on sticks and I agree about the garden pests, worms etc. sounds like it would work so much better! That's one reason I don't grow tomatoes, I can't stand the worms, bugs etc. staring at me! I always wondered why someone didn't come up with a better solution to growing them than the good old fashioned way!!

Hello Canellita. My oldest daughter tried one this year, but gave up on it and planted it in the ground. I do know of people who've tried them and had great success, though. I want to try one next summer! Karen

My Mom bought one of these this year and it seems to be doing allright. I've never tried them but hers has gotten pretty big now. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I've seen 2 different versions of the upside down tomato plant system. I think it's a great idea and I'm going to try it out. I went with the lesser expensive version to see how well it does work. We bought the one that attaches to the house or porch area. Haven't planted it outside yet because we are apparently due for some snow. I've already started my plants inside the home so I'm hoping the snow really doesn't come. If the smaller version works well I will most likely buy the freestanding one that can hold more than one plant. My employer is also interested in how this works and thinks he might be able to make something similar in a less expensive way. He told me to let him know if it works or not then we will go from there.

You know in my home town you can find tons of tomatoes some times but some times you can't get even for urgent things so demand of the marketing always up and down so i do know that, when you observed this my friend?

I've seen this on t.v., but as for in an email I'm not sure. I do think that it's a good idea, but even so I think that by recycling milk jugs or two liter bottles the same can be done. Although harsh chemicals that are used in these containers can be harmful, I don't know if they will be for plants. Even so, we can easily make the same thing by using creative tools and our imagination. I haven't tried to grow tomatoes in this manner before myself, but then again we don't eat that many tomatoes here.

Hi Canellita, Growing tomatoes upside down? This is really a news for me let alone my trying this process. why what is wrong with the traditional planting? Are not we still eating tomato? would they be different in taste or look. i am not sure but the news has taken me aback. Do try and let me know how it went.
