It doesn’t get much easier or more exciting to grow tomatoes or fresh herbs than with the Felknor Ventures Topsy Turvy Planter. Just place your tomato or herb plant in the Topsy Turvy, add your favorite potting soil, hang it, and add water.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good - Has many plant ports, June 17, 2009

By 

Talkingrock (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Felknor Ventures TT021112 Topsy Turvy Tomato and Herb Planter (Lawn & Patio)

Unlike similar products that have only 1 plant port at the bottom, this version has 10 ports. One at the bottom, and 9 on the sides, so you can grow 10 plants total.

The side ports hold smaller plants like herbs, and the bottom port can hold a heavier plant like tomato.

Just double-check and confirm how many ports the planter has before you buy. Multiple ports are better than just one.

I was looking for the newer topsy turvy bag, the one with the holes in the sides. It appears from the picture like that is what is being sold but it is not, it is the one with the hole in the bottom, misleading picture and poor description led to my return!

This review is from: Felknor Ventures TT021112 Topsy Turvy Tomato and Herb Planter (Lawn & Patio)

We started our in-ground garden about 6 weeks ago. About 4 weeks ago I bought a topsy turvy herb planter (w/ 9 ports) as an experiment just to see if it would work. The results have been fantastic! Plants that are 2 weeks younger than my in-ground plants are now over 4 times their counterparts in size. You MUST FERTILIZE your topsy turvy once a week- I am using Miracle Grow for tomatoes. Per the instructions, as it gets closer to flowering you should fertilize every 2-3 days. I have read so many hateful reviews of this product and I am only left to guess that it is because people are not properly watering and FERTILIZING their plants and somehow think that the planter is going to do all the work for them -WRONG! Like any other garden, you must maintain it and make sure it is getting proper SUNLIGHT and FERTILIZER. I am so thrilled with the results that next year I am going to have 2 or 3 of these going in addition to my in-ground garden. Some plants, such as sugar-snap peas, parsley, sweet basil and tomatoes, in future, will be grown exclusively in topsy turvys.

I would suggest that if you are not willing to do the DAILY work necessary to maintaining a garden that you refrain from reviewing this product. To all others, go get this thing... All I can say is WOW! You wont be disappointed.

The only caveat I will make to this review is that I live in Southern California will lots of warm, sunny days, which goes a long way in growing a garden.
