Thanks for sharing your information about building and growing the upside down tomato plants. This is a first attemp for me and I thought I would share some photos. I live in a apartment so I don't have space to grow in a conventional method. At first I thought I would hang the tomatoes from the patio over top of my ground floor concrete porch, I decided against that concerned about adding a 80-100 pound load to my neighboors patio. So I built a pressure treated lumber hanging stand next to my porch. It only required one attachment to the building. Concerned about watering, I also ran some 3/8 plastic tubing up the structure to water the plants from a garden hose using a hose cut off from Wal Mart to control the flow. I'm thinking about adding a five gallon bucket with a submerged fountain pump to water and fertilize the plants and eliminate the garden hose.
