Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter Review
Jun 21st, 2009 by admin
Do you want to grow beautiful tomatoes in your garden? You are not alone. There are many people like you who are tired of the problems they face when planting and rearing tomatoes. The sheer weight of the tomatoes often causes the plants to collapse and apart from that there are the problems of the branches of the plant getting tangled forcing you to waste valuable time to untangle them. I too am one of them and when I saw this product being advertised, I decided to give it a go. At worst I would be losing a few bucks, but if the product lived up to its claims, it would remove lots of my tensions when rearing tomatoes.
This product promises many things apart from the fact that tomatoes hanging downwards and away from the main soil are less prone to bugs and there is no chance that the plants will collapse under their own weight. The first advantage I noticed is the space saving ability of this innovative gizmo. With the topsy turvy tomato planter, you can grow more tomatoes per square feet. Since the tomatoes hang upside down, the fertilizers reach them naturally and easily resulting in A-quality tomatoes.
This product hangs off the ground, you can place it anywhere you like. However, ensure that you have some receptacle beneath it to catch the water that drains off. You should check out the weight of the fully loaded system (along with plants, soil etc.) before setting it up. The supporting place does not break down under the weight dropping the tomatoes and causing them to perish. However there are certain things you need to keep in mind. Tomatoes, even when they are growing upside down, do result in tangled branches.
Since the soil used in the topsy turvy tomato planter is not in contact with the soil in the earth means that it has no source of water and tends to dry out quickly. You have to water them more frequently. The best part is apparent when you want to harvest the tomatoes grown on this marvel. You need not get down on your knees to harvest them, nor do you need to dig your way through the vines. You can in fact, easily walk around the plants while gathering them without worrying about trampling on other plants in close vicinity.
Soil is directly exposed to the sunlight, it tends to heat up quickly. You might try putting some aluminum foil or any other reflective thing around the topsy turvy tomato planter to ensure that the soil does not get hot. Watering the plants too is very easy if you are using this gizmo to plant them in. The topsy turvy tomato planter will work fine if you take a bit of care for it. Keep it in a place where it is not exposed to excessive sunlight. There is one more advantage of using this system to grow your plants. You can rest in peace in the knowledge that pests cannot access and damage your plants.
