It says that you can have an abundant crop of tomatoes without all of the hassles that come with tomato gardening. No bugs, no collapsing stems, and the ability to easily harvest your vegetables but does it really work?

Find out for yourself with the pros and cons of the Topsy Turvy Upside Down Tomato Planter.

Pros– It hangs upside down so the weight of your growing tomatoes will not topple over your plant.

Cons– Even though it is hanging upside down the possibility still exists that the branches will turn into a tangles mess.

Pros- – It will give you much more free space in your yard because your tomato plants will be up in the air.

Cons — You will need to find a place to hang the Topsy Turvy Upside Down Tomato Planter that can support a lot of weight because with all of that dirt and water it gets very heavy.

Watering your tomato plant is another thing. Because the dirt isn’t buried in the ground it will dry out fairly quickly and you will have to water it around two times a day.

Pros– You are easily able to pick your tomatoes off of the plant without having to bend down or crawl around the plant to find the tomatoes in the middle of the plant.

Cons– The dirt can get very hot when the sun is hitting the planter so you need to use aluminum foil around the planter so that it will bounce the sunlight off and keep your dirt cool.

Pros– It is easy to water the tomato plants. Just make sure to run water through it until it is clear every week or so to reduce the risk of the roots growing mold.
