Felknor Ventures TT021112 Topsy Turvy Tomato and Herb Planter Overviews
The Topsy Turvy Tomato & Herb Planter is the most exciting new invention ever for growing tomatoes and fresh herbs. That's because the Topsy Turvy is an upside down planter, where gravity forces the water and nutrients to pour directly and freely down from the root to the fruit, yielding up to 30 pounds of ripe tomatoes per plant or fresh herbs including parsley, oregano, basil, rosemary, mint and more! Simply place tomato or herb plant in the Topsy Turvy, add favorite potting soil, hang it up and water. Sun warms the plant like a greenhouse, the root system explodes and thrives inside the planter. Plus, hanging in the air eliminates any ground fungus, harmful bacteria, cutworm damage - no pesticides, digging, weeding or backbreaking work! Create fresh seasonings, homemade sauces and fun new recipes. antique pedestal tables : Felknor Ventures TT021112 Topsy Turvy Tomato and Herb Planter>Compare Prices<

Felknor Ventures TT021112 Topsy Turvy Tomato and Herb Planter Reviews
I found this to be very difficult to plant. Since there are ports on all sides that need to be planted, and the tomato plant has to go in the bottom, the only way to plant it would be to hang it first, which I could not do since the hanger is placed higher off our deck. I put two wooden boards across the top of a deep bucket and planted it that way, but I still broke two tomato plants in the process, trying to keep the rootball high in the bag so it would grow a sufficient root system. Also, pests WILL be able to find your plants. Even aphids, who are hatched with a set of very useful wings every few generations. The lack of air circulation to the soil bothers me as well. It's very hot here in the south, and having a plastic bag full of wet soil hanging in the sun produces great cooking temperatures. Most hangers are also not strong enough for this product, due to the weight of it when full of wet soil. As another reviewer pointed out as well, plants know which way is up, and they naturally grow UP against gravity. Even after a few days I can see this already happening. It's a good idea, but I am designing and crafting my own to maybe "fix" a few of these issues. If you really want hassle free growing, might I suggest the EarthBox. I have had great success, MUCH easier with these, and they won't fall apart after the first season. You can even reuse the soil for 4-5 years with wonderful results.
Hung this planter off the front porch and planted several kinds of herbs in it including parsley, basil, thyme,peppermint, sage etc. Kept it watered and they grew and thrived all Summer into the Fall. Have a dehydrator; sothen dried some of the herbs for later use.
I was looking for the newer topsy turvy bag, the one with the holes in the sides. It appears from the picture like that is what is being sold but it is not, it is the one with the hole in the bottom, misleading picture and poor description led to my return!
We started our in-ground garden about 6 weeks ago. About 4 weeks ago I bought a topsy turvy herb planter (w/ 9 ports) as an experiment just to see if it would work. The results have been fantastic! Plants that are 2 weeks younger than my in-ground plants are now over 4 times their counterparts in size. You MUST FERTILIZE your topsy turvy once a week- I am using Miracle Grow for tomatoes. Per the instructions, as it gets closer to flowering you should fertilize every 2-3 days. I have read so many hateful reviews of this product and I am only left to guess that it is because people are not properly watering and FERTILIZING their plants and somehow think that the planter is going to do all the work for them -WRONG! Like any other garden, you must maintain it and make sure it is getting proper SUNLIGHT and FERTILIZER. I am so thrilled with the results that next year I am going to have 2 or 3 of these going in addition to my in-ground garden. Some plants, such as sugar-snap peas, parsley, sweet basil and tomatoes, in future, will be grown exclusively in topsy turvys.I would suggest that if you are not willing to do the DAILY work necessary to maintaining a garden that you refrain from reviewing this product. To all others, go get this thing... All I can say is WOW! You wont be disappointed.The only caveat I will make to this review is that I live in Southern California will lots of warm, sunny days, which goes a long way in growing a garden.
Unlike similar products that have only 1 plant port at the bottom, this version has 10 ports. One at the bottom, and 9 on the sides, so you can grow 10 plants total.The side ports hold smaller plants like herbs, and the bottom port can hold a heavier plant like tomato.Just double-check and confirm how many ports the planter has before you buy. Multiple ports are better than just one.
commercials and hype are bogus. I dont know what they do to make it look like they have grown nice produce in the ones they use, but i have tried for two years for tomatoes out of mine and have come up empty. These are not worth the money.
