You don't have to spend money on fancy containers to try this. I am
using 1 gal ice cream buckets for patio tomato plants. For regular size
plants use 5 gal buckets. Fill bucket with soil, put lid on and turn
upside down. Drill or cut 2 - 2 1/2" dia hole in center of bottom.
Plant tomatoe plant in this hole. After a few days turn bucket right
side up, remove lid and hang.

Plants will turn and grow up towards the sunlight. I have a picture of

I recently read an ad for containers used to plant tomatoes. Thing is
you plant them upside down.
The pots are inverted and you hang them.. They say it eliminates the
need for staking the plant up and they get more sun. Has anyone ever
planted tomatoes upside down? If so did it actually work? I sounds
like an interesting concept. I'd like to try it but I am a bit
hesitant to try it with many plants in case it doesn't work.
