Topsy Turvy Tomato Planters Update

A quick update on our Topsy Turvy Tomato Planters project.

Because we neglected to take into consideration the full possible effect the weight of having 3 of these planters on the same hanger frame might have we paid the price.

NO it didn’t fall over BUT almost did… over the course of 3-4 days the frame we built started leaning more and more. It quickly became evident that we needed to adjust our original plan.

Back to Home Depot for a couple of 8 foot boards to use as braces, 2 more L shaped corner braces and 3 hangers made to hold up to 60 pounds each.

We also decided to hang the planters going out away from the deck to help minimize wind damage and also allow for maximum downward growth.

Anyway… here is what we now have. These will most likely end up being the most expensive tomatoes on the planet unless we get an outstanding yield. Will keep you posted.
