Planning on using the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter this year? If so make sure you properly hang it. Whether you have a good experience or a bad experience is dependent on how you hang your Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter.

Hanging the upside down tomato planter can be a bit tricky. You will need to make sure that you have a great support system in place because after the plant starts to grow and you have wet dirt the planter will get very heavy, around seventy pounds.

Properly supporting your Topsy Turvy is even more important if you have kids or pets as they both like to investigate. There are two ways to make sure your hanging planter will stay hanging.

If you are only planning on using one planter then your best bet is to just go to your local hardware store and buy a more durable hook to hang your planter on. Make sure it can hold up to eighty pounds to give yourself a little leeway. This is a very inexpensive fix and will help your planter stay in the air where it is supposed to be.

The other alternative is for if you plan on using more then one planter.

If you are using more then one planter then you should consider building your own support system out of wood. Making a wooden frame should only take you a couple of hours to make and chances are you have the wood already.

Make the frame to be either a square or rectangular and put it in your yard. If it’s not perfect it’s alright. The plants grow towards the sun and end up covering most of the wood. When the plants are in full swing it’s going to look phenomenal.

Go ahead and get creative with the decoration of the frame if you’d rather it not just be wood. Put some paint on it, be creative. You can either make it stand out as a focus of your yard or blend it in with it’s surroundings.

Go ahead and spend a little time making the frame something your proud of. The planters last a long time so that few extra minutes will provide you with years of pleasure.
