Online Source for Potato Grow Bags

I had seen an article on growing potatoes and Potato Grow Bags. One of our local farmers markets uses Potato Grow Bags along with regular grow bags and swears by them. Grow Bags are easy to use and provide a bountiful crop.

I hope this helps you make a solid buying decision for Potato Grow Bags.

The Topsy Turvy Lie

greengrower — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:06:14 +0000

The ads for Topsy Turvy are soo compelling with the huge tomatoes hanging from a stem shooting off the bottom of a simple, upside down planter. But, ads can be deceiving, and what we found is…

The Topsy Turvy Ads are a LIE!

I decided to do a simple experiment to see if I couldn’t use simple things around the house to create an upside down tomato planter. Specifically, I wanted to create one that looked like the Topsy Turvy Ads on TV. You know the ones with the huge beefsteak style tomatoes hanging in clumps off the upside-down plant.

I was so excited to see how easy it was to start a seedling, insert it into the hole on the bottom of the hanging flower pot, add some potting soil and watch it grow. However, I noticed, the plant was trying to grow up, toward the sun. That didn’t correlate with television ads, so I decided to do some research.

Here’s the tomato plant growing toward the sun.
Once the plant got larger and heavy, the weight (wind and rain) forced it down.

All the reviews I read stated the upside-down tomato planter only worked for cherry tomatoes, not beefsteak style tomatoes. For the very same reason I was noticing with my plant; that is, the plant tries to grow up toward the sun. When the plant get heavy or blooms and starts to grow tomatoes, the weight of the plant and the large tomatoes pulls the plant down and eventually breaks the main stalk. Hence, no tomatoes.

You can see the fracture in the plant’s stalk.

On my plant, it bloomed, but no tomatoes ever formed. I also read, the Topsy Turvy is sold with tomato seeds, Cherry Tomato Seeds. Not exactly what they portray on their TV ads.

So once again, we see deception in advertising. The Topsy Turvy Ads are a Lie!

How to Create an Upside Down Tomato System Like Topsy Turvy – Update

greengrower — Thu, 20 May 2010 17:28:19 +0000

Topsy Turvy has become the latest craze in home gardening. Growing tomatoes upside down looked like a fun thing to do for me, but I thought I could create the same thing without the cost.

So I took some peat pellets I had,

Peat Pellets are great for starting plants

soaked them in water and added a beef steak tomato seed.

Peat Pellets Provide the Perfect Growing Environment

within one week, I had a lovely sprout looking very healthy.

Next, I took a hanging basket I had in my garden supplies, inserted the sprout through the hole in the bottom and added potting soil.

Insert the Tomato through the Hole

The peat pellet will hold the tomato plant in place.

Add potting soil on top of the peat pot

I am hoping this little experiment will yield some big luscious tomatoes in no time. I will take pictures every week so you can see the progress.

If any of you decide to try this, send pictures and let us know how yours is doing.

A Cheap Upside Down Tomato Growing System

06/07/2010 Update on Creating an Upside Down Tomato Growing System

It has been approximately three weeks since I started this experiment and from all appearances, the home -made upside down tomato planter is working just fine. As you can see, there’s quite a bit of healthy growth since the tiny sprout was added to the pot.

Create your own Upside Down Tomato Planter

It has been really hot here, so I am curious to see how this summer’s heat may affect the growth of this system. So far so good.

Great idea to have an automated garden during the winter. Recently ordered the second system. There is a slight problem though – noise, which is appears after couple of weeks and is noticeable even few rooms away. Ended up by cutting the internal air pump off and replacing it with the external Whisper pump for aquariums.
Also, I find it rather funny, the seeds which came with the system suppose to be tomatoes according to the labels on it. After 2 months it’s clear that I’ve got peppers instead.
Overall, we enjoy the new toy.
