Upside-Down Tomato - Season Two
The upside-down tomato is now turning skyward. He's been in the upside-down pot for about two weeks now. Here's a photo from two weeks ago and here is info on how I made the upside-down planter.
Very Exciting Geek News...

I saw upside-down tomato plants in fabric sacks on a TV show this week. What a great idea -- great for apt dwellers!
I've been wanting to make one of these for some time, but it's not gonna happen this year. But, I did get my tomato plants in the ground this weekend!
I've been intrigued by this and may just have to give it a try in the future!
Hi. I came across your site while looking for info regarding hanging tomatoes. I just received a hanging kit for Christmas from a relative and I figure it probably cost them about $30.00. Well, after I put it up I got to thinkin’ that I could make one a lot cheaper. I went and purchased two reusable grocery sacks (the material is identical to the store bought kit) for a $1.00 apiece. Then I bought a 55 quart bag of Lamberts potting soil for $10.00. Throw in two Home Depot five gallon bucket lids at $1.00 each and two Celebrity tomato plant starters at $1.25 each. Toss in a couple of scoops of Osmocote that I had layin’ around and that’s it. Total cost for the two, $16.50. Below is a link to a video of my garden and the hanging tomatoes. I live in sunny south Florida so I start my garden around November when the threat of hurricanes has passed. I was gonna make a video of me making the homemade kits but I probably would have gotten the camera all dirty, haha. Hope you enjoy.

Have you ever done an experiment to see how your homemade upside down planter works in comparison to the ones on TV? I know I'm going to get one this season, but I'm having trouble deciding on if I should make one myself or buying one for like 10 bucks or whatever. Do you have any thoughts?
