Do you live in warm weather and enjoy growing tomatoes year-round?
If so, you probably have a lot of problems -- such as pesky insects and soil-borne plant diseases. And, you have to stake tomato plants to keep them from falling over; and cover them if there's a surprise frost. You can avoid staking, and problems from ground contact, by growing tomatoes upside down. And, the yield is generally higher. Further, you can easily take the tomatoes indoors when frost threatens. So how do you hang them upside down? Just drill a hole in the bottom of a pot (big enough to fit the roots of a tomato plant seedling). Spread the roots a bit to prevent them from falling out. Then add soil and nutrients, and hang the pot about 7 feet off the ground. In a couple of months, you'll have beautiful upside-down tomatoes. And that's the On The House Tip for today.
