what is the differance between strawberry planter and the tomato topsy turvy
1137047
one is just a top and bottom opening and the other has growth holes all around

Tomato planter that hangs the same way has only one hole at the bottom, this one has many holes on the sides, and if you comparing with Tomato Tree they only have 3 holes and it's much larger in diameter. I had all of them, had planted strawberries in this one and they did great. Based on the reviews I didn't plant in the last row, but if I would they would do fine. Hope it helped :)

Hi, Thanks for your inquiry! There isn't much of a difference other than colour. However, only some of the Orange Models currently feature the vertical stiffeners at the foot of the bivy, where as all of the green models possess this new feature, which helps improve breathability. If there's anything else I can do, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks, The Gear Out Here Team

Yes, they are same. When I no longer could buy them in the US, I ordered them from Canada. It is great that they are now available online. Have used them for storing veggies for years. Keeps produce fresh so much longer.

I use Tomato-tone in my "EarthTainer" planters. An EarthTainer is a homemade version of an EarthBox, scaled up to a 32 gallon tote size. The planter is filled with pro-mix and can handle two tomato plants. First, I trowel in 2 cups of agricultural lime (slow release) roughly six inches deep. Last, I lay a strip of Tomato-tone in a narrow 3 inch deep trench across the center of the planter between where the plants will go at either end. Per instructions for the EarthTainer, I use 3 cups of fertilizer. This lasts for the whole season. Google "EarthTainer" for more details. I have also mixed proportionately lesser amounts of tomato tone in smaller conventional pots with similar success. I use Tomato-tone in my "EarthTainer" planters.

They are the same. The pic looks different. We use the extra base for our granddaughter.

I don't think there is much difference. I seeded both in our paver driveway and I haven't seen one bigger that the other

I see no difference between the two models. Both are mandolin slicers, both cut vegetables and fruit.

i have always planted impatiens but it may work for strawberries, the holes are pretty close together. it makes for a stunning flower display

3-5 gallon size for small patio tomates, or dwarf plants. Due to nature of how tomatoes grow, I wouldn't recommend for large tomato plants without some overhead support, and then only the larger 30 gallon+ for stability. Soil in these pots will not have enough density to support any type of trellis. I would plant tomatoes in a suitable 10" or deeper above ground garden box. 4'x8' box built with 2"x12" untreated wood with open bottom and weed block fabric as a barrier between box soil and the ground. Add an overhead frame for support of climbing tomato vines. Mine were 8 feet tall and they still grew over the top! 3-5 gallon size for small patio tomates, or dwarf plants.

The Paderno also has an extended platform. It extends as the vegetable is spiralized. I can't see any difference (except the color) between the two units. I own the Paderno. I'm basing my analysis on the Brieftons picture.

I received mine the same way and no directions also, but I researched the type of strawberry that was ordered and it tells you how to plant and take care of your particular strawberry; also contact the company and hopefully they will help you also, good luck

Im sorry. I am not familiar with that type of tupperware. I really like this keeper for my romaine hearts.

I only have the "new" earthbox. I was initially put-off by the "discontinued by manufacturer". But I needed the stake for the tomatoes. Not easy to move around once you have the soil in it. I understand why discontinued, hopefully the staking and caster systems are being improved. Tomato plants are over 4 ft high, still growing and appear will produce great yields. Glad I purchased, hope it lasts since they are discontinued.

Well you could use it inside if you had some kind of catch system for the extra water from everyday watering. My experience with the Felknor Ventures Topsy Turvy Upside Down Pepper Planter was great. It was nice looking and really easy to grow, I watered everyday until it came through the drainage holes (this is what may be a problem) but if you are determined to use it inside you'll want some kind of system to catch the excess maybe a plated planter below I had one of my planters under mine and it was watered of the run off from the Topsy Turvy Planter but it you were careful I suppose you could have it inside without a problem Well you could use it inside if you had some kind of catch system for the extra water from everyday watering.

I agree with the other two responses. Not really suitable for fruit... definitely a planter.

Not sure about that one....I just ordered white and that's what came. Second time ordering ......great planter as it fits perfect.

I just received my vertical garden, so I have done any planting yet. I bought mine for strawberries. I would say some veggies would be fine, smaller compact, lightweight veggies. The tomatoes would be too heavy for it. It should be supported in some way with either the base that is made for it or mounted to something stable.
