Heh, thank you. That's the real Alice Donut (obv not the band, but a feline with a like name), watching TV.

Glad you like it Alice! Love your profile pic!

I'm totally going to do this! I'll post pix when it's done! 

There is another way to make this too.  i have http://upsidedowntomatoplant.com/  its spam free.

and another DIY project for upside down tomato plants.    Iv been making them since the 80's. in Wisconsin.  first learned about it from the FFA

Alishye--They look GREAT!! I'm so glad you liked the tutorial and wish you a healthy crop of everything!!!!

Thank you for your DIY upside down tomato planter. It is the cheapest, most attractive one I've seen online. I planted two with Bush Celebrity Tomatoes and a third one (the one in the middle) planted with Jalapenos. I planted Thai Basil, Italian Parsley, Purple Sage, Sweet Woodruff, Italian Oregano, and Sweet Basil in the top of the planter. I realized that my pots are hanging a too low, so I have to shorten the cord, but I think they came out pretty good! Can't wait to see if my tomaotes and jalapenos will grow good upside down!

Thank you so much for your How-To Guide!

Dear wordswinker,

I have no clue. Since my last update I have about 4 additional tomatoes on the hanging plant--still nothing on the upright one. I'm looking forward to seeing the difference as they ripen as well! (And welcome to Curbly!)

Dear Mave,

Any idea what the theory behind your robust (I saw the later post) tomahtow? Perhaps gravity plays a role after it's over its phototropic phase. What do you think? 

Thanks Caya. I haven't seen the pop bottle idea, but I have seen the plastic bag and five gallon pail conversion--both not the most attractive diy's!
