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...

If you *have* to plant your tomatoes in a planter, they work as well
as any planter. But tomatoes love to have a constant level of
moisture in their root system & it is a PITA to do with any planter.

Now that the newer upside down planters seem to be encouraging folks
to plant on top of the planter, too, there might be a slight advantage
of saving room and shading the soil- but plant them in the ground
is still the best way to grow tomatoes.

OTOH- SWMBO, MBO!. So get her one. And casually plant a couple
plants in some nice rich soil. Don'r say a word, but by august
she'll come around.
