Have you or anybody you know had any luck with the topsy turvy upside down tomatoe growing systems this is my?

Everybody I've quizzed about this plant were very disappointed at the results. Gimmick.

I made my own upside down tomato planter this year. I tried the same type of plant in it as four others that I planted in containers. The upside down plant was much slower at producing fruit and only gave me half as much as the other four.

They were all planted at the same time and given the same fertilizer and were given the same amount of sun. My own personal opinion is that when the tomato is upside down, that it expends too much of it's precious energy trying to turn itself up to the sun leaving little left for growing fruit.

In my experience they needed to be watered a lot more than if they were in the ground. The bag that the soil was in starting rotting out and disintegrated in the sun long before the plant was producing anything. The whole thing ended up in the trash.

we've been given one for Christmas yet i did no longer plant till March, way too previous due right here in s. florida yet, we did get some tomatos that have been albeit no longer the final, have been very stable. i think of if I had planted them in dec. it would have labored plenty extra helpful supply it a pass, yet make effective u r planting on the main suitable time for ur section. oh and that they want a good number of water, so watch the leaves, in the event that they wilt, water stable luck

i plant cherry tomatoes in 10 gal buckets on my deck and it works just fine who needs upside down

Plants were not meant to grow up side down.

!i think it's just another decorating idea!!!
