Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter

If you want large delicious tomatoes will the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter do the job? They say that you can grow peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers,and other things upside down. The plant benefits from the nutrients and water feeding by gravity. You don not have to bend or dig, just drop the plant in, dump in the dirt, and water.

I have been reading a lot of posts online about this upside down gardening method.  Some of the issues people seem to have are not uncommon to growing a regular tomato.  Wind, sun, and water are important to any living plant. 

Heavy wind can strain the Topsy Turvy supports and make them fall.  Be sure to consider the weight of wet dirt and hopefully large plant with heavy fruit.  Consider what would happen to your tomato planter if a strong wind blew in and knocked it around.  Some of your tomatoes branches might become broken if they are too close to walls, posts, or other handing plants.

Water and sun are really important for tomatoes.  They like a lot of both.  If you hang it indoors or under a porch or patio cover your tomato may get less water and light of than it should.
