From past experience the plants growing upside down do not tend to do as well as those grown the traditional method,
roots will always seek to bury themselves further into the ground, and all the roots in my planting were crowding the bottom of the containers.

I think they do this in Australia all the time.

Tried it with poor results.

My wife and I bought a couple of "topsy-turvies" last year as an experiment for a couple of tomato plants and they did pretty good. We don't have a ton of room in our garden area and the "topsy-turvies" saved us space.

I may have to try this. If for no other reason than to keep our new dog out of the plantings (she tore up my son’s school project plants that we transplanted into traditional containers outside).

All well for certain areas, but I live in the midwest and the violent thunderstorms bring strong winds—see what happens when 60 mph winds hit these suspended plantings.

Word of caution - the planters weigh a ton!! Don’t expect a regular hanging plant holder to support that much weight.

(Crushed tomato plants do not do well)
