    This product works as advertised, my tomatoes are doing very well. However, it is VERY heavy when filled with dirt and watered. You need a sturdy hook and place to hang it. I was having problems with it drying out quickly (granted, I live in New Mexico, where it is quite dry) even though I had added water absorbing crystals to the soil. I ended up removing the top 6 inches of soil and placing a plastic milk jug in the top. I punched some holes in the bottom of the jug and I fill this with water nearly every day. The water then slowly seeps in to the soil instead of running out the bottom, dripping is reduced and the plant gets the water it needs. I would give it five stars if some system were in place to keep it from dripping so I could use it indoors and if it were a little easier to plant.

    I have used the Topsy Turvy Tomatoe Planter for 3 seasons now, and will never, ever plant my tomatoes in the ground again. This product is sturdy, simple to use, and produces beautiful fruit. Because the plants grow toward the sun and never touch the ground, the slugs and other critters cannot ruin or run off with your produce. As I have already stated, I have used the same bags for 3 seasons now, and have not had any problems at all. I highly recommend this product.

    ****Later Posting****
    I used these for 4 seasons, and that was about the end the first pair…they do wear out eventually, and they were well worth the price I paid for them. So, I guess I need to replace them! Four summers’ worth was pretty good!

    Interesting spin on growing tomatos, April 16, 2009

    To be fair, we have 2 turvy’s and 2 potted.
    I must confess the turvy’s are in far better shape than the potted plants.
    Our biggest fuss is that the position makes it awkward when keeping in full sun. We spent weeks turning the plant every other day. It’s not that big of a deal though.

    Requires lots of water. You must water every other day without fail if in dry, hot, humid areas.

    WARNING:
    DO NOT BUY FROM THE WEB ADDRESS topsyturvy.com/hangingtomato.com/ or any other redirects this company may send you to.
    This company is deceptive. You’ve seen the commercial. Buy one get one free? Just pay extra shipping? They charge 31.00 for shipping, and it all comes in one box. It totals $71.78
    If you return it, you are refunded on $39.99.
    They do not refund the whole amount.

    Instead of $71.78, which I am still fighting the company about through the BBB, I bought 2 on Amazon.com

    I paid about $30.00, that includes shipping.
    BUY AMAZON, NOT DIRECTLY FROM THE COMPANY.
