Default Upside Down Tomatoes

Article in Telegraph today about a "new" growbag" being sold by ASDA for
growing tomatoes upside down! They rekcon you hag it high up and let the
plants trail towards the floor. Roots will get warm cos of the "green"
growbag, and all the nutrients will travel down to the plants.


We had one last year. It didn't work very well, but Nick thinks he put the
wrong kind of tomato in it. (he used a tumbler. Apparently you should use
a normal non-tumbling variety) And he's a bit heavy handed, planting is
normally my job.

He hasn't given up, he bought a new upside-downer last month. I think it
came from Wilkinsons.
