This is the first year I've tried one, and though it's not doing as well as the regular patio tomato plants, it's holding it's own.llcwinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-15636309442372852942010-06-19T21:41:12.709-04:002010-06-19T21:41:12.709-04:00A friend who is all about recycling took a reusabl...A friend who is all about recycling took a reusable shopping bag from Walmart and made his own Topsy Turvy by poking small holes in the bottom for the plants to grow through and just hanging it by the handles in a tree. He managed to get great tomatoes from his, but it took a lot of work. Not a 'set it and forget it' item in my opinion.salymsmommynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-49520983902617611382010-06-18T18:36:04.670-04:002010-06-18T18:36:04.670-04:00I bought one last year and it was a total flop.

This year I bought a bigger plant (no fruit, I didn't cheat) and haven't noticed the curving stem- yet. I have a handful of small tomatoes now so we'll see how it goes.auntjonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090226128263928965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27945607.post-67684697803018221232010-06-18T14:30:46.343-04:002010-06-18T14:30:46.343-04:00Can't wait to see how this progresses.
