This Is My UpSide Down Garden it had been set up for just over two months it has cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, zucchini, male eggplant, long beans,
Chinese pea pods and flowers. It is organic and I use Organic homemade pesticide and organic homemade Fertilizer.
I must apologize to all of you, who have been asking me questions about my Garden I have been absent from this site for some time.
I will try to answer all of your Questions.
First off I must state that this is an experiment, a very fun experiment!
I have tried many plant varieties some work great some do not work at all, also remember that in a small encapsulated world a little is good a lot is not necessarily better! I have Killed or shunted a few plants, but I still keep tying new things such as my secret to getting Eggplants to grow upside down. I don't even like this food but what a beautiful plant the flowers the leaves and the fruit are exquisite, I swear women are in explicitly drawn to the male version of this plant just stand back and watch.
I used inexpensive pots that already have a small hole in the bottom I cut out the unwanted plastic the whole was indented up 1/2 of an inch above the bottom of the pot which I believe provides a water reservoir in the bottom of the pot. I used plain potting soil
I used little peat pots that expand when you add water to start my plants, and the diameter of the peat pots fit the whole in the bottom of the hanging pot perfectly. (Slightly larger so the wont fall through)
If I get enough encouragement I will put together an email publication detailing everything I have done with pictures, including pesticide and fertilizer recipes. So please post as many questions and suggestions as possible, I would like to hear from any one about there experiences and techniques please email me or post any and all that you wish to share.
I love this idea.
We have an a covered porch and my dad would always hang hanging flower pots with petunias. The petunias would grow down to the ground and give us a flower wall for privacy.. and it smelled nice too.
I was thinking about trying to hang tomatos and zucchini upside down with running petunias in hanging flower pots, but I heard that tomatos and zucchini will always grow up even if they are upside down.
You seem to be having great success! I guess it is worth a try!
