    Yes, and by themselves they did not work very well. But there are a few tricks to help them out. First, to keep them from drying out so fast and to keep the bag from breaking, line the original bag with a plastic trash bag and only punch holes where you want the plants to come out. To help the water move down easily and to keep the bag from getting too heavy, mix "packing peanuts" with the soil. If the bag doesn't have a top, cover it with something to prevent scorching or drying out. If it has a flat open top, plant some marigolds on top to help hole in moisture and keep the nematodes away. Many people have taken the upside down theory of growing and started using old buckets or any type of containers that they can put holes in and plant. These take a stronger holder than that of the topsy-turvy planters.

    Actually they work really great. I planted some tomatoes in mine and I really have to admit I was impressed.I would suggest that you use a medium soil mix though because the water will evaporate pretty fast.Other than that they work great.

  • I ordered from a tv show and when I did get it and tried to put it together etc.. it needed weighted down and it just didn't seem right. I returned it. I wanted it for my high deck because deer eat anything where we live and THOUGHT it would be great. but it just wasn't what I expected.
