Growing Tomatoes Upside Down

Photo of tomatoes being grown upside down in a bucket.They were only 2 topsy turvy planters left to buy at the store. After purchasing them, I had an idea, plus I wanted to plant more than 2 tommy toe tomato plants. What I did was cut a small hole in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket (most have a small circle already to use for a template) and used a dishwashing sponge to keep the plant from falling back through and gently filled with potting soil.T his idea works as good as the store bought planter.

Good Luck and have a nice day.
