Is there a way to grow flowers on the top and tomatoes out the bottom?

It could be possible. But I would contact an expert in order to save time and money.

Sure, anything is possible. That may slow the draining of water, with more roots on the soil. I would use more plant food. I was never successful at tomatoes, but Japanese cucumbers grew very nice and huge. Hope this helps. Joe

I'd say no. The cap is big enough to water at top. Having a flower growing out of that would make watering tricky. Even if you left off top you might have root issues. Hope this helps

I think so. The planter is basically a bag suspended on three stainless steel wires. It comes with a cap but you could leave the cap off and plant flowers there. Put a drip irrigation tube into the top of the planter and you're good! That said, don't plan on the planter lasting more than MAYBE two years. Unfortunately, they deteriorate in the sunlight and fall apart.

I did not use for tomatoes but I have no reason to believe you would plant any different from ground plant. I read on www to plant on side covering roots and fuzzy texture up to the first leaves covering with 2-3 inches soil and I did this in ground and was amazed leaves were directed back toward the sky almost overnight. Not sure if this would work in pots due to space but again I would plant as normal depth in ground.

No, you have to get the plants yourself from a nursery. Also, discovered that in the process of placing the tomato plant; often would break it off; ruined several plants that way. I did not have very good success with the tomatoes but used herbs instead; they grow just fine!

Correct, there are not any boards to form a bottom. This way your plant's roots can continue growing as deep as they need to!

No. The plant must be grown elsewhere. I waited until the vine was long enough to hang over until I planted it in the Topsy Turvy.

Depends on the root structure - as a rule, I put tomatoes on the top tier, peppers in the middle and all else anywhere I can find the space (I tend to overplant but it's only a hobby!).

What I did was spray the mixing liquid into the ground where ever I want the ground loose or softer, where I have grown plan fruit tomatoes flowers , I spray around the trunks only . But, where the grass n the ground cover or any where the plan surly don't grow higher than 4-6 " I spray over them they work very well . That's what I did with my n I am happy with the result . Hope it help your too .

I would think you could do that.....you can pretty much make whatever you want with a couple of these things. Oh yes, extra bracing might be needed depending on the weight of your "plants".

i put artifical vines in it.. looks real nice... you could put a real plant in it, but if you do.. place some small pebbles in the bottom , since there are no water holes for drainage

This would be fine for shallow rooted plants, flowers, herbs etc. Vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers tend to have longer root systems and would not be viable in the bottom tier, which is the larger of the two growing areas and has about half the depth.

I usually fill the pot with potting soil mix and compost up to about 1 or 2 inches from the top. You can just plant the tomato in the middle, maybe just allow the soil to slightly cover the soil line of the previous potting. If there was a lot of root circling the bottom of the previous container or be sure to trim the roots a little when you plant it.

Whatever you can grow hydroponically can be grown in this once you accept space limitations. I have just started tomatoes for the first time. Obviously they will take over the entire unit and so my second unit is for salads. Not sure tubers can be successfully grown in hydroponics, but then I have not tired that.

Yes you can do that. This plant want's a lot of sun and water. Don't worry about the degrees. It will grow gr8.

no you can grow small plants in this throughout their life cycle. as long as they are small plants. but if you do change them into a bigger set up do it before the roots come out of the bottom of the individual 3inch net pots.

The bottom is open. You can set this over the top of already-growing plants.

You should really plant your tomatoes in a new location. You may have any number of soil borne diseases. Serenade works reasonably well on early blight, but it is hard to tell what your problem made have been.

Just plant then about 1 1/2 inches beneath the soil, vertically, water and your good to go. Mine are all up and flowering. I've found that vertical placement lets Mother Nature the pattern for growth.
