Here's another idea for container growing your tomatoes. The Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter is a very popular planter these days. It's a simple planter that hangs a single tomato plant upside down in a container. It's quite effective, and many people consider it to be the ultimate way to grow tomatoes, especially in a balcony or patio. But it does only handle one plant, and it needs someplace to hang. If you are looking for a way to grow even more tomato plants, or don't have a place to hang a planter, the same folks that invented the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter have come up with another way to plant your tomatoes.
The Topsy Turvy Tomato Tree keeps most of the advantages of a hanging planter for tomatoes. This means
You don't need to stake your tomatoes
You will have fewer problems with slugs and other soil based pests
Less soil borne disease with the use of potting soil
Fewer problems with weeds
Air movement is improved, so pollination is improved, and you have few problems with rot
