For you? Yes, karma. And upside-down tomato plants make lousy blt's.

Really, where would you grow upside-down tomatoes where you can't just grow them in a big planter (where they'll be happier)?

Couldn't make the link work, but from the other comments, I'm assuming they are upside-down tomato planters.

They don't work. The reason is that when you water a tomato plant, you shouldn't get the leaves wet. The wet areas, if not dried by the sun pretty quickly (within a couple of hours), might rot. The upside-down system encourages water running down the stems, and leaves.

So, no. They don't work.

No, I didn't always live in the city . . .
