I absolutely love your videos. My mother and I are working on a non-ground garden as well and we had no luck with the topsy turvey I got her for her birthday. We just recently started using toilet paper rolls to start seedlings and so far it is working great! I was just trying to find something easier than lining the ground with butter tubs and other odds and ends. This is a great idea! Thanks for posting!

@Riyhana Thank you. Always great to hear nice comments like these. Hope things grow well for you. Have fun!

those pots all all uneven and look pretty dumb

@maugr8 Wow is this what you do? Go around to gardening videos saying things are dumb? You are pretty cool. Glad you have a life.

What part of Georgia are you in? We bought a couple of buckets, some soil, and two big tomato plants today. I'm reasearching vids to see what to do. I'm trying to convince my wife we don't have to buy a Topsy Turvy lol. You seem good at this.

Buford. You definitely don't have to get the topsy turvy, especially when you can make it cheaper. Thanks for watching.

Pre-drill your screw holes to prevent the wood from splitting.

Not sure where that is. I'm in the NW of Ga. I just did two upside down tomato plants today. Only problem I had was the plants my wife bought were kinda big, so I had to make a big hole in the bottom. The coffee filters I put in to keep the soil in around the stalk kinda sagged. May lose some soil, but hopefully the roots'll take quick and stabilize it all better.

I hear ya on the addiction of planting things. After my last video Sunday I have already done something large/new for this week. I'll have an update on that this weekend.
