Product Description |
|
Topsy-Turvy Planter makes it easy to grow tomatoes and vegetables because it eliminates the need for a backyard garden plot, stakes or cages, weeding, soil prep, hole digging, cut worms and in-ground insects! Saves your back and knees too! Hang it from a hook on a deck or balcony and you'll work standing up. Water and fertilize through the built-in top funnel; trim... More and harvest at chest height! Also for cukes, peppers, flowers. Just add your soil and plants. FLOWERS thrive in TOPSY TURVY, too! And talk about an interesting way to grow them! Flowers grown in TOPSY will "curl" upward seeking the sun, creating gorgeous "upside down umbrella-like sprays" of flowers. Flowers grown this way look "interestingly different" (almost like a new variety of plant). |

well, I love it! |

Let me start by saying I definitely have a brown thumb, in fact, my husband says I cannot grow mold on old bread. However, I purchased the topsy turvey tree (the one with three holes around the side of the bag and the stand) and I am being overrun with tomatoes. It is set up on my deck and despite some pretty severe storms and wind it has stood solid as the Rock of Gibralter. The plants get a good 10hrs of direct sunlight a day. I put grape tomato seedlings in one hole, big boys in another, and romas in the third. Apparently grape tomatoes come on early because I have been enjoying them since the third week of June. The big boys and romas are abundant but not yet getting red. I give them two gallons of water in the morning and two at night...unless it rains. My thinking is that the plants don't get any water from the ground (just what I give them) and the sun evaporates any "excess" water during the day. I have designated Friday as "fertilizer Friday" so I don't forget to give them their MiracleGro regularly. As an inexperienced gardener who did this as a grand experiment I am thrilled to death to be enjoying my unexpected harvest. Maybe sometimes ignorance really is bliss. |

topsy-turvy |
well where do i start- okay- i follewed the planting directions (soils to be used)- i went one better, used low moisture holding soil. I screwed the planter hangers into studs on side of my house- southern exposure. we had rain storm and the hinges pulled out the siding- literally- 2-1/2 inch screws into studs. not happy at all. good idea in theory- except for heavy downpours. i can't see the free standing tri-pods working either.
i would not even give the one star rating i had to give to submit my review.

Very overpriced! |

I purchased this product from customer and found out Home Depot sells the same product for 7.99 without shipping. |

Don't Waste Your Money! |
|
So I planted up two of these topsy turvy and several other tomatoes in pots. Let's just say all the benefits it gives you.....larger plants, more tomatoes.....I have yet to see. My pots are twice the size of my Topsy Turvy's, loaded with fruit. The upside down plants have yet to produce any fruit. All were planted at the same time at the beginning of May. Also, they dry out very quickly. |

Cranks and releases to much water! |
|
My husband bought two of these for mothers day. We put a tomato in one and a sweet bell pepper in the other. One month later the plants have died and the topsy turvys are falling apart. te bottoms are cranking and have turned brown. Don't waste your money on these! |
