Topsy Turvy

cecilsgarden1958 · April 22, 2009

I broke down and against my better judgement I bought a Topsy Turvy upside down tomato planter from Walmart for $9.88 and will plant one determinate tomato plant in it, using coir; instead of potting soil. I wonder what my chances of getting any decent tomatoes are?

Cecil, go to KDKA.com. Last year the Consumer Reporter did a feature on the Topsy Turvy planter and found that it did work. It is one of the videos in the "does it really do that" section. I got 2 for my sister this year so we will see.

Here is the link to the video: http://kdka.com/video/?id=41604@kdka.dayport.com

They do work. Some floks near our camp hoist them up high so the deer don't eat the plants. I'm also in SW PA Gibsonia.

I get about 5 spam emails a week for TT. I'll never buy one just on principle...
