Don’t want to pay the .00 for something I can do myself. Quick, easy way to do the Topsy Turvy Tomato.

where you get the plant?
I got the Tomato Plant from a local farmers market.
An excellent idea and technique , thank you for making the video.
Thanks, if it works out I may set up for a few more next season.
This time I used all recycled material. A treated post is needed for a long term set up.
Hey this is great. I have an entire vegetable garden video series I started this year just for upside down veggies (though I do have a few ground containers too). I posted my 6th video yesterday and have a lot of growth. It’s great to see others trying this method. Thanks for posting. Definitely post updates. Check out mine if you have a minute. Later.
Like to see how this experiment works out!! 5/5 Ed
Thanks, I’ve been wanting to try different planting methods and this is the year. I’m looking to enjoy the garden more as I refine my methods.
Can you please do an update video so that we can see the progress. Thinking about transferring mine now. Do they need additional support for the tomatoes as they grow? Thanks for this video!
Yes, I was going to post two of the updates that I have but it has been unusaully cool and rainy all month and there wasn’t significant change. I figured I would give it a week of warm weather to see if it improves.
I’ll post this weekend.
Great idea that I had too as I want to try this upside down hanging thing, but . . . I bought a few actual Topsy Turvys for $5 last fall in an end of season sale. The hanging cords, etc. just seemed to make the $ spent worth it.
Kamoyaker: that post stayed in place for the season without concrete?
@nowpitching22, you got a good deal on the Topsy Turvys.
Yes, the post stayed tight all season. I fenced off acres of property this way back 30 years ago when I ran a farm, the black locust and telephone pole posts are still doing well.
