Upside down tomatoes - another (cheap, simple) way

 by weblar

Step 2: Inverting and hanging your tomato planter/bucket

After the tomato seedling has grown and developed for a couple of weeks and  the tomato plant root structure has developed a bit, the planter/bucket is ready to invert and hang.

REMEMBER, tomato plants like plenty of sunshine - pick your location accordingly.

Make sure whatever structure you choose to hang your planter/bucket is strong - 5 pounds of damp soil and a fully developed tomato plant can be a bit heavy.  Additionally consider the wind load and other environmental factors.

Lift the planter/bucket into place, invert/turn it over, and hang it by the bucket's wire handle.
