7 Steps to Upside Down Tomatoes

[apachebow]

My feeling is that a 2 gallon pail would be on the small side. But you can try it.

would a 2 gallon ice cream pail be sufficient or would that be too small for the roots?

i have a question, i dont know who is siol i apreciate the answer thanks

Thanks for the comment. I agree, it's always good to bury a lot of the stem with tomatoes.

I find that the plants are stronger, in the long run, if you bury a lot of the stem, leaving about 2-3 sets of leaves showing.

Simply put the root ball through the hole, not the plant.

OK but how did u get that big plant through the hole in the bucket ??

Hanging the plants upside down makes them easier to deal with. The vines hang down instead of flopping all over and needing to be staked or caged. I think it makes watering a little easier too.

I was just gonna say, that aint a 2 inch hole!Whats the real benefit of hanging them upside down? Space saving? I am thinking of doing this inside my restaurant.
