    Topsy Turvy Upside - Down Tomato Planter

    Topsy Turvy Upside - Down Tomato Planter

    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...

    In response to akklewer's comment from Apr 10, 2009:

    I understand your concern. Our main objective with review length is to truly help people make better buying decisions before they shop. If I'm purchasing a big ticket item like a refrigerator or a TV, I want enough detail to help me feel I've received enough advice as to whether or not I should buy something. You're not a complainer :) I just wanted to make sure you know our reasoning behind the requirements. We often receive a lot of one to two sentence reviews like "This sucks, I wouldn't buy it. Didn't work for me." Often these short opinions leave a lot of open questions like, "Well, why did it suck? What didn't you like?" We truly do appreciate the feedback on your perspective about the length issue as this helps us determine the preferences of the Viewpoints community. Review readers and review writers sometimes have very different opinions on how much information is necessary.

    Hi there! Saw your message on the discussion boards about the $25 Restaurant.com promotion and wanted to let you know I posted a response there. Could you be mistaking a 900 character review for a 900 WORD review? A 900 character review is approximately one paragraph.
