Default Growing Tomatoes Upside Down

Has anyone here tried this with either the Topsy-Turvy I or II tomato
planter systems?


Also- Could anyone comment on *why* upside-down? Why not just a
container?

I know 3 people who grow container tomatoes upside down. None can
answer why it is a better system than standard containers. [one has 5
acres of lawn and probably a quarter acre of flower beds- yet he grows
these 2 scrawny tomato plants upside down for the past 3 years. Is it
just the novelty that draws people to make their tomatoes hang
un-naturaly?]
