Don't waste your money September 3, 2010 B. Suri I bought one this year. Below where I hung this thing, my neighbor was also growing tomatoes...it was pretty pathetic that my Topsy Turvy only yielded FOUR TOMATOES THE WHOLE SUMMER, while my neighbor's tomatoes ( planted in the ground) grew multiple tomatoes at a time. Embarassing and a waste of money.
Was skeptical, not anymore.... September 1, 2010 Susan Nash (New York, United States) I thought I'd give the topsy turvy a try this year after last year's disasterous crop (both in the ground and potted). This year, we planted two TTs with tomato plants meant for patio growing. We also planted tomatoes in pots. The plants in the TTs thrived and gave a high yield. The fruit was ready far earlier than the ones in the pots. In the beginning, the plants did grow up the sides of the planters but, as they matured, they grew down. I had no bugs, no slugs, no rot, and the squirrels couldn't get at them. My husband built a contraption out of leftover 2x4s with a heavy-duty metal garden stake across the top to hang them from. It all worked quite well. I will buy more of the topsy turvy planters for next year and am going to try growing peppers as well as more tomatoes in them. Be forewarned, they must be watered every day. I find that mine take about 1/2 gal of water. I also fertilized a couple of times during the season using miracle grow for tomatoes.
Sun's UV rays destroyed it August 29, 2010 Michigan Man in his 30s (Southeast Michigan) The item only lasted one summer. The sun quickly degraded the green bag and it crumbled at the end of the summer, therefore it was garbage. I recommend making your own planter using a plastic pail (with metal handle) and a kitchen sponge. Homemade version will cost less than $1 and last much longer.
Suggestion on hanging the topsy turvy August 29, 2010 eileena (Southern California) I bought one of these on close-out at home depot for under $5...I used a 4' bungee cord to hang it {set the middle of the cord over an eave-mounted hook, then I attached the two hook ends of the bungee cord on to the basket hanger ring} This system has worked out great...you can pull down on the planter bag for ease of watering {or pinching off dead leaves}...then as it dries, it pops back up, out of the way. I only water it when the bag feels light yet my plant looks very healthy...dark green with thick branches...and it's starting to flower...so far, so good
Plants grow up, not down! August 28, 2010 Alan Herendich The tomato plant looked good at the beginning, but like all plants, it grew up, not down. It tried to grow up the sides of the bag. Since there was no support for the plant, half of it eventually broke off from its own weight. How did the people who like this thing get their plants to grow down???
