 Incredibly disappointed. April 15, 2008

I have never written one of these reviews but I was so saddened by the results I just had to.
My friends got me two of these as a birthday present. I was so very excited about it and followed the direction to the "T". As a result I killed two innocent tomato plants.
The disk on the bottom that holds the plants choked them to death. They didn't have a chance.
So I have some EarthBoxes and I will plant this weekend and see how that goes.
If that doesn't work it is back to the age old, growin in the ground.

Really very different and unique...my first thoughts. However, after using this type and the type that is a portable on ground unit (and more expensive) I would never again buy. First of all, the units contain very little soil. They dry out very fast and often must be watered twice a day. The plants have to be very small to fit in the holes provided. When the plants grow upside-down, they naturally go for the light and I ended up with a tangled mess even though when possible, I turned the containers frequently. The only reason I keep them around...I grow a few small tomatoes in them and the dog can reach them (she loves tomatoes and thinks she's being sneaky).
 No reservations... June 7, 2007

Delivery was prompt and the product arrived without incident. I would definitely make a purchase from this seller again.

The top to this thing doesn't even fit the way it is supposed to and please note that this thing is VERY heavy. It broke the hooks I had hung it on due to its weight, so if your considering this product have a real sturdy hook. Mine was supposed to hold up to 25lb so that's not enough. Also the water doesn't stay near the roots where it is needed it flows right out of the darn thing as soon as you poor it in.
Don't bother July 1, 2008

I don't usually do me-too reviews, but I'll contribute just to bring some balance to the overall ratings. Bottom-line: Your first hint should be the "As Seen on TV" label. These are sold with the promise of pest and disease resistance. The only hookworms I've pulled off my tomato plants this season are on the Topsy-Turvy. You will need to set up a drip irrigation system and keep it running constantly or your plants will wilt. Otherwise, be prepared to manually water it at least twice daily. Water filters through the soil readily and exits the bottom near the stem. If it is hanging over a wooden or concrete porch, the constant drip of water will leave soil and mineral stains. On my patio, the tomato plant in the Topsy-Turvy is a spindly runt which will never produce, the one in the pot on the ground near it is bearing fruit. You will notice that many (I acknowledge not all) of the five star reviews on this page are from well-intentioned people who only just received the item but who have not had any actual experience with it as far as its efficacy as a planter. Believe what the negative reviewers are saying.
