I’ve never used the topsy turvy, but I have grown tomatoes in hanging baskets and except for the inconvenience of watering them, they seemed to require the same effort as garden grown plants. Do any of you have some suggestions or comments about growing vegetables in hanging baskets?

One VERY important thing is to follow the guideline not to move the thing after it’s been filled with dirt. I gave it a nudge this morning to give one of the plants a little more sun and it collapsed on top of me and took out a second one as well. ouch. Other than that, I too am looking for any helpful info from Topsy Turvey veterans!
