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...

They seem to work ( no personal experience) but making your own is far
cheaper.

The wife has discussed this in some detail with an experienced DIY
person. Ask and I will try to post some info this time tomorrow as she
has gone to bed for the night.




Sure , ask her...Saving 20-30 bucks is ALWAYS a good thing...Thanks....


All the information my wife had has already been posted except for 3 things:

A 2.5 gallon bucket of a pretty color is large enough.

Your hole in the bottom can be larger if you line the bottom of the bucket
with burlap or old panty hose, this helps you install a larger plant.

A toe section of old panty hose can help you compress and protect the leaves
of a large plant as you feed them through the hole.

2.5 gallon bucket for looks and weight reduction. 5 gallon for less
watering where weight or appearance is not a concern.

Have fun and buy the wife lunch with the savings.
