Summary: Just say NO both upside down and rightside up.
Comment: Tried them. Plants die for either the pressure from too much water at first or not enough water the next day. Once the full sun hits the bag, basically it gets so hot inside the bag regardless of the outside air temp that the roots cook or the water dries up. I did not take an actual temp reading but when I finally gave up and dumped one out to feel the dirt, it was as hot as the decaying dirt in my compost pile. Heat that is part of why a compost pile destroys weeds, etc. Bad idea that is presented well on TV. Do not bother. Total waste of time. If you need to hang your veggies just get a hanging basket with peat moss etc., and hang them the right side up.

Summary: Not 100% Happy
Comment: The product boxes that it came in where dented but the product was not.
Also the two sponge disks to hold water inside the product that was advertized for the product was not in either box??

Summary: a total waste
Comment: Plants have to be watered ridiculously often. Twice a day during the summer in CO. So you may never leave for even a couple of days. Tomatoes were not bountiful, and were tough due to exposure. Worst of all, though was that the planter only made it through one season. The weight of the dirt and one season of exposure to sun and water made the planter spontaneously rip right in half under it's own weight! The manufacturer will not even comment to negative emails. Waste of water, time, and money.

Comment: This product does exactly what is described. My only complaint is that when planted in let's say Southern exposure... The item gets too hot i believe. It dries out much faster than it should. Obviously this is a placement problem and not an item problem. I've already decided that if it were placed in the perfect location that it would work wonderfully!!

Summary: topsy turvey tomatoe planter
Comment: I have read most of the reviews before I bought the Tosy Turvy Planter. I have harvested tomatoes successfuly. I changed the planting procedure like this. To make it 'not so heavy' I layered the planter with potting soil, styrofoam peanuts and spaghnum moss. Each layer was about 3 inches in depth. This took away the weight problem. I hung them(3) from outside fence posts surrounded by sun. This took away the rot problem. It is a good product if you customize the procedure to fit the environment. Dave Kunkler, Rushville, Ohio.

When we heard about this innovation, it seemed too good to be true. A smarter, better, easier way to grow tomatoes when you have no space at all? Well, were testing one right now, and its working great. By hanging the plant upside down, watering is a ci
