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

Basic photos uses a hanging basket.

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.
