Got my patio garden but not sure about those upside down containers

I bought a Topsy Turvy a couple of years ago and grew a tomato plant in it. You can only have one plant in one of those. It has foam on the bottom that you feed the plant through. This keeps the dirt inside the planter. I really didn't care for it too much, the tomato plant will bend its stems up towards the light source so your plant does twist and turn and look funny. It never grew any fruit and I ended up throwing the whole thing away. I had a friend who made one himself. He took a wire hanging basket and put in some moss I believe on the bottom to keep the dirt from seeping though. Then he just planted some tomatoes in one and I think he did another with peppers or strawberries in it. It worked for him. One word of caution though - if you do end up doing this make sure that your hook you are hanging it from is nice and strong. The plants will be quite heavy especially after watering. This is what I found. Good luck in your endeavor. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

My wife bought one of those one time but the plant ended up dying. I don't know. It really does seem like a good idea but in practicality I'm not sure.

If ya read on the package if you have the updie down one it has every thing you need seeds included now if its a topsy turvy one or 2 plannt is enough I have one of the kids put me up some screws to put mine on I havent planted yet for I will be out of town for 4 days in June so figured I would plant then

I've never tried them either store bought or home made. But I would think they would need extra watering though as the container will dry out much faster than planting it in a garden.

For me really keep up the good work because you are inspired of your life congratulation may Jehovah God blessed you.

I got one of those cheap containers, and have not yet used it. I have to get plants to put in it because mine did not come with plants or seeds, just the container. I have seen them growing before, and they seem to work pretty well. I will give it a shot this year because I need to get rid of some nuisance wild rose, and will have to lay an herbicide down near the garden so I'm doing container planting this year for the veggies. On the directions for the upside down planter I got, it says to put 2-3 seedlings (small plants) in it along with dirt of course. I would imagine they would all be very similar, just a few plants in each one.

My parents hung one from a tree last year. It did pretty good. If you don't have something to hang it by, I would not do it.

went to a garden store yesterday with hubbys brother and his wife who are both agriculturalists and he was telling me that they those work quite well. they would be great on a balcony.

I want to know if they really do work well or not
