The upside down hanging Tomato planter....SWMBO wants one..But me being
VERY skeptical of things advertised on cable think it's crap...Has anyone
bought and used one or know somebody who has??? Does it work???? Any help
talking her out of it would be appreciated...LOL...

Yes, they do work.

But, you can do the same thing for far far far less money. �What they sell
for a few dollars, you can buy for a few pennies. �Free 5 gallon buckets
work the same way. �Cut a hole in the bottom, put a plant in there, some
dirt, and water from the top.

Don't know if you've ever grown tomatos. �They ain't rocket surgery, but
they ain't simple, either. �But if you're willing to put in a little work,
some time, and some regular care, the rewards are worth it. �All you need is
good starter plants, regular care, and a little knowledge. �That doesn't
come in any package, including the upside down packages sold for $$$$$.

Have fun. �Home grown tomatos are luscious!

Been there done this. the plants having a realtively small root system
