how to plant hanging upsidedown tomatoes

Step 1Materials needed

Materials needed
You will need the following materials:
-hanging coco basket with a hole in the bottom of the frame
-dirt (more on this later) I used peat moss, manure, and vermiculite
-something to hang it from (I used a Shepard's hook)
-and a tomato plant!!!!

The plant needs to be a baby plant, not one of those huge 1 gallon bucket plants.

WE PLAN TO TRY THE COCOA BASKETS. HOWEVER WE HAVE NOTICED THAT PLANTS TEND TO DRY OUT VERY RAPIDLY IN THEM. I PLAN TO PUT THE BASKET IN A GARBAGE BAG BEFORE SITTING IT IN THE HANGING FRAME. THEN TRIM IT OFF AT THE TOP. I THINK THIS WILL HELP HOLD THE MOISTURE.

I am interested in trying this method, and started pricing out this type of hanging basket. They come in a lot of different sizes. Which size is best? They ranged from 12" to 24". I have a 12" budget, but I'm sure that a larger size would be beneficial to the plant.

I just bought some of these at WalMart for less that five dollars each. They were 14".
