The Upside Down Mater Project

I am going to try something new this year.

Bek is pregnant.
Bek loves tomatoes.
Will grows tomatoes.
Bek is happy.
Happy Pregnant Bek = Happy Will

Hows that for algebra.

I grow tomatoes every year.


No big whop! Lots of people grow tomatoes.

This year I decided to try my hand at a new type of tomato growing.

Upside Down Tomatoes!!!!!!

First of all you have to have a stand or something to hang your tomatoes from.

I used this post.


You take two 5 gallon buckets and cut a whole in the bottom. and hang them from the stand.


Then you pop the plants through the bottom of the bucket and fill the bucket up with dirt and BAM!!!!! You have an upside down tomato plant.


The advantages of an UDT are less bugs, no weed pulling, and a great conversation starter. You can also plant Herbs or Flowers in the top of the bucket.

I will get to that later.

Stay tuned to see if it works.

Sweet!!

1) Cool, can't wait to see the results of your UDT. I'll plant tomatoes at the end the month. I just might have to rig something up like this.

2) Interesting idea! I hope all goes well because if I follow your math:

No tomatoes = No Happy Pregnant Bek

4) I've seen ads for these. Can't wait to see how yours turn out. I'm growing right side up tomatoes... they are my first.

5) Cool! Never heard of that but it sounds neat. Can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm going to sit here and refresh my browser every 30 seconds until I find out.

6) Tomatoes are pretty hardy so they can grow almost anywhere!!! I will be sending all humzooers a slice of Upside Down tomatoes and a slice of right side up tomatoes so that you can judge. (All you need to do is send me $15.75 for shipping and handling.)
