Allstar Marketing TT101101 Topsy Turvy Tomato Tree Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I live in an aprtment with a NW facing balcony, up in North Dakota. I had some concerns about getting enough sunlight for tomatoes, but went ahead and tried it out. What do you know, it worked OK! However... there were a couple of things I had to do to achive success.
I bought "determinate" type tomatoes. This is what the horticulturist at our local University told me to use. I'm not really sure what that means, but he has a PHD and I don't.
I used the "moisture control" potting soil. This helped with water retention. You will still need to fetrilize, due to the fact that there just isn't enough soil to support 3 good sizes tomato plants. I also used a copper soap based anti-disease spreay(Ortho)to fight off blight and rot.
I would water the plants every morning, and when I did I would rotate the tree by 1/3 to expose annother plant to direct sunlight (my porch only gets 4-6 hours of it a day). I would not reccomend this product to anyone who can't afford to really give it the attention it needs. if you go 3-4 days between waterings, the plants have a good chance of dying. Water 1-2 times a day, depending on your direct sunlight level.
Stick to the 3 plant plan, as I said before, there just isn't enough soil. I did not have any issues with the fabric bag as others seemed to have. This might be due to soil/water acidity, I don't know. The sponge plant retainers did get torn up due to small roots growing into them, but I can replace those with a suitable substitue.
I am looking forward to growing again this year! Hope this helped!

Felknor Ventures TT101101 Tomato Tree Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought 10 of these and even built a structure in my garden to hang them. I also set up automatic watering to them. I followed the instructions very carefully.
They absolutely do not work, and there is a simple reason.
By hanging the planter upside-down, water runs down the stem of the plant and collects right where the stem emerges from the planter. The stem ends up rotting from the pooling water, where in a normal planter it would go away from the plant and also feed the roots.
The plants end up convoluted and congested as they try to turn upward toward the sun. Essentially, the plants try to grow up into themselves and turn into a nasty knot of tangled growth. The planter itself also shields the plant from the sun, particularly when the plant is young.
I ended up hanging fishing weights from the ends of the branches to try to make them grow downward. Fruit was produced ultimately, but the fruits were undersized and subject to rotting from the water dripping down on them from above.
I imagine the company that makes these would say I over-watered, but I adjusted the water as carefully as I could, and still you just can't keep water from dripping down and give the plant enough water. I mean think about it--the roots are where the water is leaving as it drains. I'm willing to bet the roots were a mess as they tried to grow downward to seek the water that destroyed the stem, branches and fruit.
I would certainly not recommend these. If you're going to try them, try just one or two--don't bet your summer's veggies on them.

Felknor Ventures 82506 Topsy Turvy Upside-Down Tomato Planter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
