Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter: Read This Before You Hang Your Planters!

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.

Because the tomato planter will weigh around seventy pounds when it's watered and you have a thriving plant hanging it properly is important and a bit tricky. You have to make sure that you have the proper support to hold your hanger up.

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 are only planning on using one planter then your best bet is to just go to your local hardware store and buy a more durable hook to hang your planter on. Make sure it can hold up to eighty pounds to give yourself a little leeway. This is a very inexpensive fix and will help your planter stay in the air where it is supposed to be.

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

If you plan on buying multiple Topsy Turvy Tomato Planters then you should build yourself a wooden frame to hang them up on. This will take you about two hours to build and if you are anything like me you will already have the wood laying around your house.

Depending on how many planters you have just make a nice and simple square or rectangular frame to stick in your yard. It does not have to be exact, it just has to be sturdy. Keep in mind that when your tomato plants take off they will cover most of the wood because they grow upwards and it is going to look stunning.

Go ahead and get creative with the decoration of the frame if you'd rather it not just be wood. Put some paint on it, be creative. You can either make it stand out as a focus of your yard or blend it in with it's surroundings.

Go ahead and spend a little time making the frame something your proud of. The planters last a long time so that few extra minutes will provide you with years of pleasure.

I am trying to grow roses in a large planter outside my window in a very hot climate. I need help.?

Size of your planter is going to make a huge difference. If you are growing an average sized rose then you will need a planter that is at least the size of a half barrel. At least 25 liters. Other than that a rose is easy to care for. You will probably need to water your rose every few days and feed it rose food during it's growing season and that's about it. I don't know how hot your climate is, but here is a web site that will give you some ideas on the types of roses that do well in containers. They also have information on roses for specific climates.

Here is another of my favorite rose breeders. They sell all kinds of roses, but I would suggest that you stay away from the hybrid teas because they are grafted, short lived, and disease prone.

Oh, I almost forgot. Here is a list of roses called "Earthkind" Other than needing water these roses are supposed to be able to care for themselves. They are not even supposed to need fertilizer, however, if you choose one of these roses and put it in a container then I would suggest that you go ahead and feed it rose food because the nutrients in the potted soil won't last forever.
