1 out of 5 stars Not worth the money   December 1, 2008
J. Ivins (Middle TN)
I purchased this from another site and it did grow some tomatoes, though they were always starving for water. It was a pain to water twice a day. It did not produce good tomatoes or very many, so I would pass on these from now on.


1 out of 5 stars Total Garbage (expensive garbage)   August 11, 2008
Lbell99 (Northern California)
This is the greatest idea, but so short on delivery of design and materials used for support. I agree with other reviewers, NO CENTER support pole and this bends due to the week corner poles...very crummy quality material.


1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money.   July 24, 2008
G. Oliver Vazquez (San Juan, Puerto Rico United States)
I saw this in a catalog on a flight back home. Although I found them to be expensive (about $80 each), upon my arrival I immediately ordered two. A waste of money.

The planter is bulky, flimsily built and just plain, old ugly. I also has a tendency to topple over which is very frustrating seeing how fragile tomato plants are. Its container barely holds enough soil for two tomato plants, much less four, and the way it is designed, shades the tomato plants preventing their proper growth. The tomatoes I was finally able to grow were consistently and seriously undersized. After several months of this, I threw the planters away.

I still think growing tomatoes upside down is a great idea, but for anyone willing to try it would recommend instead the Revolution Planter from Gardeners Supply Co. at $19.95 each.



5 out of 5 stars So far, so good   June 9, 2008
Melissa (Arkansas)
We've had this garden for a month now, and our tomatoes are reaching for the sky, and the lettuce on top is growing great. So far, so good. Absolutely no issues to report other than complete satisfaction.

We are enjoying it. Had to put in two metal supports on sides to make sure it would not tip.
