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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
