Upside-Down : The Easy Way To Grow Tomatoes At Home In Knoxville TN
August 31st, 2009 categories: Buyers
I have seen these crazy commercials on TV like everyone else. But couldn’t believe how well it worked until I saw them at a couple of my neighbors homes. Their tomatoes where HUGE and made a believer out of me. So I guess we are going to give it a try. Enjoy!!
Whether your home has ample room for a garden or just limited space on a balcony, upside-down planters make it easy to grow tomatoes at home.
Now, growing tomatoes upside-down may sound like a strange idea, but versus in-ground planting, free-hanging methods carry some distinct advantages:
- There’s never a need to weed
- Garden pests are rarely an issue
- Only the tiniest of spaces are required
The hardest part of growing tomatoes upside-down, actually, is finding a suitable apparatus.
A quick look at YouTube shows no less than 105 How-To Videos and a search on Google turns up a similarly large set. Clearly, making an upside-down planter can be a DIY project.
But if DIY is not your thing, Hammacher Schlemmer makes a suitable, $80 solution called The Upside Down Tomato Garden. It’s pictured at right and measures 25″ square at its base — compact enough to fit most anywhere.
Let me know how your experience has been doing it…Leave me a comment…
