Product Description
Topsy-Turvy Planter makes it easy to grow tomatoes and vegetables because it eliminates the need for a backyard garden plot, stakes or cages, weeding, soil prep, hole digging, cut worms and in-ground insects! Saves your back and knees too! Hang it from a hook on a deck or balcony and you’ll work standing up. Water and fertilize through the built-in top funnel; trim and harvest at chest height! Also for cukes, peppers, flowers. Just add your soil and plants. FLOWERS thrive in TOPSY TURVY, too! And talk about an interesting way to grow them! Flowers grown in TOPSY will "curl" upward seeking the sun, creating gorgeous "upside down umbrella-like sprays" of flowers. Flowers grown this way look "interestingly different" (almost like a new variety of plant).

 a total waste September 6, 2008
Plants have to be watered ridiculously often. Twice a day during the summer in CO. So you may never leave for even a couple of days. Tomatoes were not bountiful, and were tough due to exposure. Worst of all, though was that the planter only made it through one season. The weight of the dirt and one season of exposure to sun and water made the planter spontaneously rip right in half under it's own weight! The manufacturer will not even comment to negative emails. Waste of water, time, and money.

This product does exactly what is described. My only complaint is that when planted in let's say Southern exposure... The item gets too hot i believe. It dries out much faster than it should. Obviously this is a placement problem and not an item problem. I've already decided that if it were placed in the perfect location that it would work wonderfully!!
 topsy turvey tomatoe planter September 1, 2008
I have read most of the reviews before I bought the Tosy Turvy Planter. I have harvested tomatoes successfuly. I changed the planting procedure like this. To make it 'not so heavy' I layered the planter with potting soil, styrofoam peanuts and spaghnum moss. Each layer was about 3 inches in depth. This took away the weight problem. I hung them(3) from outside fence posts surrounded by sun. This took away the rot problem. It is a good product if you customize the procedure to fit the environment. Dave Kunkler, Rushville, Ohio.
Disappointing visual August 11, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
We thought that this was a wonderful concept. Unfortunately, because of the visual, we assumed that the starter tomato plant was included. We purchased it as a gift for our daugher-in-law and had it shipped to her in another state. Six weeks later, we inquired if she was enjoying the "home-grown" tomatoes. We were surprised when the answer was NO!!!...She will try to grow them next year. It seems that the cost of $15 for a mere plastic planter sleeve is rather high.
Topsy-Turvey tomato plant August 4, 2008
This is great! This is the second year I have used this method of growing my tomatoes. Granted, they are not the super-sized tomatoes as used for sandwiches/hamburgers, but they are a great size for salads. I have my plant hanging from the sunny side of a covered deck. So easy to trim suckers and water. Highly recommend!
