Tomato planting was all that easy before, as believed by many. The good produce of traditional planting has never been refuted until one company introduced their Topsy-Turvy Tomato Planter. This particular innovation was recognized by Time Magazine as one of the Amazing Inventions in 2005. The basic principle behind this product is to do away with the conventional tomato planting by hanging it to save space and turn it upside down to let the water and nutrients go down directly to the leaves and fruits without much effort.
Well, to point out exactly the advantages of this product, here are the following benefits you can possibly have:
1. Easy start. You can have your tomato plant hang in your veranda almost instantly. All you need to have is topsoil and a starter tomato plant to relocate to the Topsy-Turvy Planter. And, boom! There’s your tomato plant.
2. No more stages and cages. By keeping it upside down, it enables the stem to just hang. That means staking will not be necessary, nor the caging, since it is already off the ground.
3. No bend-overs. Planting tomatoes while standing is now possible since Topsy-Turvy designed it to be hanged. It means you can water the plant by just standing straight. No more weeding and no more worm attacks. So, grannies, this gardening product is of your advantage.
4. Recycle. This plant container is said to be environmental friendly since this can be recycled from one plant to the other.
5. Double it. With this gardening tool, you can’t just limit your container with one tomato. You can double it. By this means, you can maximize the number of tomatoes you can reap in every harvest season.
The success of this method has given indoor gardening a breakthrough. But to some, it’s just a mere disappointment.

There were claims that Topsy-Turvy Tomato Planter is but another added pile of junky in their warehouses. Most claims are contradictory to the above mentioned advantages in using this particular product. Here are some common grievances:
· It is too weak to carry the entire tomato plant. It can’t even reach a single harvest period as tomatoes grow heavier each week. Not even the two-in-one design where there are two tomato plants in one container supposedly. But the problem was still the same. It is not durable.
· Some still believes in the conventional way of planting tomatoes. They could not entertain the idea to defy natural way nutrition transportation of plants – the roots should be going down while it is growing, not the other way around.
Though the disagreement may come mostly by opinions, satisfied users have also expressed the upsides of this gardening product. As of now, its popularity is still in its hype. As long as you think the innovation can hold true to its purpose, it’s worth trying.
