Space Saving Topsy Tomato Planting

Tomatoes and the love that just about everyone has for them becomes a proud moment when you have planted, watered and cared for your plants to the day you can pick the first ripe one! The funny thing is that tomatoes are a vine plant and we continue to put them in the ground or containers to make them grow ‘up’.

We must put stakes in the ground and find ways to ‘tie them up’. Once the fruits start growing the plant gets even heavier and if you have not staked your plant correctly it may fall over or even worse break.

A fairly new and brilliant way to grow your vine tomato plants are to hang them upside down and let them grow ‘down’. The space saving Topsy Turvy tomato planting
method is vertical gardening which makes a ton of sense. For those of us who have limited space this new way to vertical garden is catching on which really is a fun way to grow your vine plants.

Potting Soil

Using this type of planting can cause your plants to dry out much faster than being in the ground. There are lots of different kinds of potting soils on the market but one that has moisture control
is definately a good idea for one of these planters.

Plant hanger

One important note is that wherever you put these things, be sure that they are anchored to something sturdy. Once filled with soil and water their weight increases quite a bit. A good solution is to use a plant hanger.

Just imagine, no more stakes, no more weeding and no more bugs crawling onto them! That gives you a little more room to grow something else. If you already use a Topsy Turvy, then you know what I am talking about, but if you have not and your growing season is just about here, then why not give this a try! The space saving Topsy Turvy tomato planting
method will sure make it a lot easier for you and you could have it hanging right outside your door! This would be perfect for the condo owner, aparment dweller or someone who is just looking to try something new.
