Topsy Turvy Upside - Down Tomato Planter Review

I purchased two topsy turver planters from the internet and used them this past summer.  The reason I bought these is because I live in a condo and only have a porch as a garden.  The floor of my porch is filled with colorful flowers, so using a topsy turvey seemed like the perfect solution for growing vegetables.  Once I received it I found the topsy turvey easy to assemble.  However it required a lot more dirt than I expected.  I put two tomato plants in one and two cucumber plants in the other.  I recommend having two people available when it comes time to hang the planters as they are very heavy.

Unfortunatly my cucumbers and tomatos did not grow very well but I think it had more to do with the sun light and how much I watered it rather than the planter itself.

I'd recomend these planters, however be forewarned they are not the most aesthetically pleasing piece of decoration.  My mom has used normal hanging baskets with moss in the past, and just cut holes for the tomatos to hang down from.  I think I will try that this year instead.

Good Luck!
