Make sure you read this if you are using the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter this year. Failure to hang your tomato planter correctly will result in you not having an easy time growing your tomato’s.

Hanging the upside down tomato planter can be a bit tricky. You will need to make sure that you have a great support system in place because after the plant starts to grow and you have wet dirt the planter will get very heavy, around seventy pounds.

Properly supporting your Topsy Turvy is even more important if you have kids or pets as they both like to investigate. There are two ways to make sure your hanging planter will stay hanging.

If you only have one hanging planter to hang then just make a trip to your local hardware store and buy a stronger hook. Make sure it can hold up to 80lbs. to make sure it’s strong enough. This is a small thing that will make a huge difference between having your hanging plant hanging or on the ground.

If you are using more them one planter there is a different way to go about hanging your Topsy Turvy.

If you are using more then one planter then you should consider building your own support system out of wood. Making a wooden frame should only take you a couple of hours to make and chances are you have the wood already.

Just build a nice sturdy square or rectangular frame to put in your yard. Don’t worry to much about how professional it looks because when the plants start taking off it is going to look very nice. Because the plants grow upwards it will not only cover a lot of the wood but it will be stunning to look at.

If you don’t like the idea of just having a wooden frame in your yard or up against your house grab some extra paint you have laying around and give it a few coats.

Take the few extra minutes to make the frame yours because the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planters last a long time so a few extra minutes to make the frame yours will provide you years of joy.
