Upside Down Tomato Planter

You have probably seen or heard about the upside down tomato planter. My neighbor plants three or four of these every year and gets a lot of tomatoes from his plants. A simple explanation is that you plant your tomato in the bottom of a hanging bucket or container.

I know, it sounds weird and there are a number of theories about why this works and why you might want to do this. Other than the novelty, I don’t know whether it works all that well. Though as I said, my neighbor swears by it - it should be noted that he also plants most of his tomatoes using the conventional in the ground method.

I may try it this year. I found a Do-It-Yourself article here - http://www.curbly.com/DIY-Maven/posts/1620-How-To-Make-An-Upside-Down-Tomato-Planter - that looks easy and cheap.

I also found this over at Amazon if you want everything in one place or if you aren’t the DIY type. I may just try them both to see which works best.
