The Topsy Turvy Upside-Down Planter
March 11th, 2010
Back when I was just a young feller some 40 years ago I used hanging planters to grow strawberries and tomatoes but didn’t have a lot of success as they just dried out too fast. At that time I was in a bachelor apartment on the 11th floor and it was always windy. I couldn’t go to work and come home without my plants looking wilted.
When I saw the Topsy Turvy Strawberry Planter for the first time last year I was impressed to say the least and wanted one immediately. My mind filled with images of all the veggies I could have hanging around our backyard.
The last couple of homes we lived in had little to no room in the backyard, if you could call it a backyard. I sure wish that we had the Topsy Turvy Hanging planter back then.
I love the idea of growing veggies without the need to weed them but hadn’t even thought about that benefit until a gardening friend who already has a few hanging planters pointed it out to me. I was already convinced to buy a couple myself and now was even more convinced.
We have plans to use the plants for strawberries, tomatoes and even some chili pepper plants. Of course we aren’t going to stop there we just arent’ sure about how much weight they will hold.
We’ve heard that some tomato plants don’t do well because they require far too much water for a hanging planter and also they get to be way to heavy.
An important thing to note about hanging planters is to grow things that won’t get to heavy as it will break your planter. So don’t try and grow pumpkins in a hanging planter. Not sure how Zuchinni would work but it might eliminate the problem we have here with slugs.
