Just spent some time collecting a list of advice articles on how to create an upside down tomato planter.

1. http://www.curbly.com/DIY-Maven/posts/1620-How-To-Make-An-Upside-Down-Tomato-Planter

Basic photos uses a hanging basket.

2. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-Inverted-Hanging-Tomato-Planter

Uses plastic bags and newspaper along with your iron to create a basket… sounds messy

3. http://www.howdididoit.com/home-garden/how-to-grow-hanging-tomato-plants/

Good description plus pictures of the end results - uses 5 gallon bucket

4. http://urbangardencasual.com/2008/05/27/upside-down-tomatoes - good instructions on using 5 gallon bucket

 I’ll add to this list again tomorrow

Half the story - Good video on creating an upside down tomato planter. Covers the choice of plant variety in particular looking a determinate type which is explained well in the video. Not so good on the construction side of the planter itself.

The other half of the story - how to make and fill a home made planter.

The upside down planter can also be used for peppers, cucumber, and some squash.
