Default Upside down tomatos

I have seen on TV these upside down tomato containers. They look like,
and probably are simple bags that let you grow tomatos in a hanging
position upside down.

I have raised tomatos in Louisiana for about six years, so am familiar
with a lot of the basics. I now live in Utah, and although it is quite a
different climate here, some of the basics apply.

Has anyone ever tried these? Do they work? Could one build some of the
same thing out of say, burlap bags, as I believe they would probably last
only one season anyway?

Or just grow them the right way?

I saw these things at last week's garden show. They are reinforced plastic
bags. So why do you want to use them, just want to dink around with
something new, growing area restraints, want to be the first in your
neighborhood or have you never been able to grow a decent tomato plant and
are desperate to try anything?

Huh? Please reread my post when you are sober.
