 cheap, but low quality. January 5, 2010

My 10 year old daughter was influenced by the commercial and begged me to buy the Topsy Turvy. For the price, it wasn't too bad, but it is of very low quality construction. Also, watch out for sharp wire terminations.I poked myself several times while assembling. It's a novelty, like a toy or science experiment, but I don't think it worked any better than a traditional pot. Also, it's basically a single plant/season use.

It's hard to keep the plants watered and then the water runs down onto the plants...causing burns when it's during the middle of the day and then problems from the fungus in the soil also running down onto the plants from the water.
Save the time and money and grow them some other way.

Save your money everyone! Those I received began to split and tear after about a month, and toward the end of the season they were completely in tatters. The plastic "bags" just fell apart, making it impossible to water, as the water washed out the soil, thus no tomatoes for me this year! I'm very angry as I had been given information that they were "wonderful." Not so!!!They were a complete rip-off!

I hung the planter as instructed and purchased new potting soil and plants which were healthy. My tomatoes were small and moldy. I am very disappointed in this productFelknor Ventures FV504C Topsy Turvy Upside-Down Hanging Tomato Planter

We purchased the Topsy Turvy in an effort to save space in our herb and vegetable garden since the tomato cages take up so much space. The soil 'bag' was very heavy, so we staked anchoring cords to hold up the double shepherd's hooks - no big deal. The instructions said that you could plant two tomato plants per bag, so we did. And we selected a medium variety of tomato so that it wouldn't get too heavy for the upside down set-up. But, after two months, with daily watering, the tomato plants have barely grown, and have only yielded 7 small tomatoes total - between the two plants! And, it looks like that will be all we'll get from both plants. We used great vegetable potting soil, so I don't think it's that. Rather, I suspect that the foam rubber 'ring' that holds the dirt in at the base is in effect cutting off the plant from growing and thriving. Next year, we're going back to the cages and setting up a separate garden for tomatoes and peppers. Hope this helps anyone else. I don't know how others get the good results, if they do.
