Topsy turvy copy upside down tomato rain barrel#1

[docwilkey]

looks pretty good to me might even try something lose to that myself. Your idea is better than the name brand stuff.

[Skgibson8]

This is great, I'm going to try this. Thanks

[Rotorzilla]

looks cool man. how did they turn out at harvest time?

[nicefella3]

thats cool!

[elicente]

Thanks.... I shall try!(:

[elicente]

Thanks....... I shall try!(:

[chickenbonewatt]

Nice system!!

[itsearlable]

I don't know why you call it a "dumb ass" rip off cause it looks pretty good to me. Main thing is that it seems to be working good. Great job!!

[DavidJH007x]

Nice one! I will rip this off too! might try cutting a slot and then using a heat gun to bend the top in and the bottom out, the hole looks like soil will fall out easy.

[Cheezesras]

I just cant stop lol this is so frigging awesome.

[Riyhana]

Haha that is great!!

[sundance2659]

looks good dude.

[shooterboyadi]

nice

[brendan129]

It's a nice set-up and all, but you do realize that a Topsy Turvy cost $5 on Amazon.com right?

[FuckObama2010]

I'm using cut off milk jugs and vegetable oil bottles.

[FluffyGuppiie]

Wow! I like your "Ghetto ass rip off"...

[asexieru]

Hewy that a good system ghetto or not

[dequinox]

Love the fountain pump/rain collector. Do you leave it running all the time or on a timer or what? Cool dude, I bought the strawberry one this year so we'll see how that goes. I figured I would try the real thing first then do my own bucket version.

[jakeedin]

that was ingenious!!! Brill and thanx for the idea.

[AlbertLloydy]

Cool! Looks like a very good way to save space! Hope they grow well..

[breelion55]

absolutely brilliant! You are an inventor at heart - I am very impressed. Have you considered taking a Permaculture Design Course? You'd love it. I am taking one right now and man, they teach you this stuff and waaay more.

[notasoutherngirl]

That was F'kin Amazing. Besides its an awesome project but you SO look/sound like the FireFly character Jane - the sarcastic merc.. you are the BOMB.

[jasonofcompsci]

$50. That is pretty good. Looks pro.

[bubbarinosnana]

I planted 1 tomatoe plant in the topsy turvy and another in a regular planter set on the patio in my experience the 1 in the regular planter grew twice the size than the 1 in the topsy turvy.

[GagnezTV]

Very creative...

-G

[backyardsounds]

pretty cool in my op, I'd leave some water soluble fertilizer in your rain water collector. Topsy-Turvy is the rip off. IT's a damn plastic bag!

[fred5399]

What can I say .it's fraking brilliant. Dude keep up the good work.

[ArizonaAdventures]

i dig it man

[angryadrien]

instead of cutting a hole, you can cut a 4 inch horizontal slit. Push the top half in, pull the bottom half out and it automatically keeps the dirt in place. nothing should fall out when you water your plants.

You might need to heat the plastic though.

I saw it on a do-it-yourself video.

[urbanalbino]

This is pretty cool! I like your little system! and you can't beat $50!

[carrera931]

Sir you are Mr Ghetto Green Thumb, All you need is some Ghetto Ass Musik

[hylanderr]

lol its not ghetto its cheap and very creative nice job man

[MrNishi]

good call dude, simple and effective, i like it

[monoroma1]

creative!

[FATKATKY]

Looks pretty good to me

[speccyblue]

Very clever!

[jasonrothfeld]

Its the ghetto topsy turvy

[lslavychecker]

DEZEVNICA--LEPO SESTAVJENO--ENOSTAVO--samo ni potrebno toliko zalivati,ker voda izpere zemljsko hrano in porijte na vrhu ker dez tudi izpere -v luknje okoli zelenjave pa dajte plasticni papir ,da ne izubite zemljo ,,,,so semena ki neprekinjeno rastejo nastavite lestvice da se okoli zavijajo....ODLICNO ZA OSEBNO UPORABO...RASTE VSEPOVSOT CEPRAV NI VODOVODA JE PA DEZEVNICA--ne potrebujete toliko vode...in to naredite to sami---POSODE SO IZ ZELO MOCNE PLASTIKE DA SE NE IZTRGAJO....so odpatki

[lslavychecker]

LOVE THE RAIN WATER,because you can grow it enywhere if you colect the rain--do not water to much because you wash out nutrions,,cover the basket when it rains wash out nutrions too..put coffe filter around the plants,,,,love the basket they are strong,,,LOVE THE SET UP

[lslavychecker]

Love the rain water,not everybody has water....do not water to much because you wash out nutrions...LOVE THE SET UP....

[ansvel]

The biggest problem to this method that the roots are in the same temperature as the rest of plant. For this reason you will not get berries as much as from normal ones.

[jfreakbol]

Ha, ha, I like it.

[robbierohn123]

that is an awersome idea love it and will try it out keep up the good work looking forward to see some more videos from u

[bagger101]

You need to cover the pails with that white and black fused plastic,,, white side out..... The white pails let light through and it will inhibit root growth

[recipes4robyn]

Great ideas. I would like to see a bit more explanation and progress of your plants. Thanks for the viedo.

[finster37]

good job

[GATORFOOT166]

sweet! is that a drip system?? how does the rain barrel work?

[knoduron]

Great idea!! specially the pump thing you have set up! two thumbs up

[lowcarb85]

awesome!!

[livinlovinit]

Wondering how it worked out any pics of the vegies and fruits as they grew? One big problem I see with this "redneck" set up is drainage. You would think that in the bucket you would have to allow for drainage. If someone else has already brought that idea up then ignore this. Thanks though for the great suggestion.

[jasonhdvideoman]

cool the redneke way

[conductorcammon]

Yep...Im TOTALLY gonna rip off your idea.....thanks (minus the rain pump thingy)

[sigarelli1]

That looks like a lot of thought went into your design. How did you get the rainwater into the trash can? It seems like 5 gallon buckets would be extremely heavy. What did you use to bolt it into the side of the house? Cool idea.

[jhi1947]

Kewl. So, how did it work out?

[superbungabunga]

yo that shit is awesome so i give you a thumb up, now you need to grow weed out of that and i'll give you 2 thumbs up

[kooshkack]

@superbungabunga 'yeah so he could die from dug abuse" sarcastically

[duyen84]

fucking awesome!

[will3482]

It get's the plants off the ground, so away from bugs,slugs,critters and I think most importantly better air circulation so that mean less mold and other moisture related problems. I know there's more but like in my last post I'm really stoned so I hope all this makes seance.

[brinablove2]

I like your water Idea.

[hugaloa]

thats pretty kewl

[will3482]

One tomatoes keep it to one plant per bucket to it can develop a proper root system, place the hole on the bottom, overtime you can coil the tomato back up the bucket if you put some screws along the bucket and train the plant back up. You could do strawberries the same way in the buckets with all the holes.

[StatenIslandSlim]

Sweet great setup

[brizzx32]

It looks like a pretty good idea, I just can't figure out why you wood want to do that. Unless you don't want them to freeze on the ground in the winter time.

[MrKillaflex]

hey man i like that idea of more plants in the same bucket i'm gonna try that out thanks for the video

[Boonty]

good job and very creative! I want to do strawberries next year in a long pvc pipe...same idea only more plants...you should try it too.

keep up the great work!

really like the catchment for your water

[daytimejon]

its not getto its smart...

[FLIPWILSON1]

Cool! Thank for taking time to post this.

[marcjtdc]

check the ph of your rain water! sometimes it can be as low as 5.0 you need 6.2-6.8 ideally.

also don't use clear tubing, the light gives you fungi. same thing with the white buckets. i would use black buckets painted white.

good idea!

[marco10125]

what if you use a clear bucket... more sunlight... if they make clear buckets

[bearlover0320]

the topsy turvy has some small holes at the bottom of the thing so the excess water can drip out, perhaps yours needs the holes, but I do believe that your plants will grow

[hambone5885]

hey J.P. like the ghetto farm, i believe it will work, enough sun and water anything will grow...i wounder could a guy grow something else that way?huh. awesome idea.

[thejonesfather]

Great idea....

[14dollarz]

This is sweet. The topsy turvey is the rip off. They cost much more than buckets and don't last. This is my first year of growing veggies and I'm doing upside down as well. Check it out. I'm learning as I go.

The thing I'm most interested to see is how well the tomato plants will grow because you have multiple plants in each bucket. I'm learning the hard way that I planted too many zucchini in 1 pot because they need their space. Keep posting updates. I will be watching.

[yabucoaman]

i have to say very smart using rain water i like the set up
