Product Description PRE-ORDER THIS ITEM NOW! We are receiving the first batch of the Topsy Turvey on June 10th and will be shipping orders out in the order we receive them. Topsy-Turvy Planter makes it easy to grow tomatoes and vegetables because it eliminates the need for a backyard garden plot, stakes or cages, weeding, soil prep, hole digging, cut worms and in-ground insects! Saves your back and knees too! Hang it from a hook on a deck or balcony and you’ll work standing up. Water and fertilize through the built-in top funnel; trim and harvest at chest height! Also for cukes, peppers, flowers. Just add your soil and plants. FLOWERS thrive in TOPSY TURVY, too! And talk about an interesting way to grow them! Flowers grown in TOPSY will "curl" upward seeking the sun, creating gorgeous "upside down umbrella-like sprays" of flowers. Flowers grown this way look "interestingly different" (almost like a new variety of plant).

Cannot rate yet...but will update..sloooow shipping! July 4, 2008 Let me just say, I ordered this on June 10, 2008 and I just received notice that it finally shipped today July 3rd.
I am a regular customer of Amazon and realize that this comes from a 3rd party, but really 3 weeks to ship without any communication! Bad show so far, this had better be good after this wait.
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. The tomato plant in the Topsy-Turvy is a spindly runt, the one in the pot on the ground near it is bearing fruit. Believe what the negative reviewers are saying.
Very easy to setup June 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We just receive our two topsy turvys. They are very easy to setup. Though, we were not able to find small seedlings. So it was difficult to put larger plants in the holes. We have tomato, strawberry, rosemary, red and yellow peppers, and a hot pepper. I hope to come back and update the progress.
Just an FYI I cut out the top portion of a milk jug. Put small holes at the other end. This made it easier to pour out the water into it very slowly the first time.
The Upside-Down Tomato Planter June 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We have not had good luck with tomatoes in the past mainly due to bugs. But the plants in the Felknor Ventures 82506 Topsy Turvy Upside-Down Tomato Planter are healthy and happy and there are lots of flowers and baby tomatoes on the vine. It looks like we are going to have a bumper crop thanks to this ingenious device!
Topsy Turvey Planter June 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Upon seeing this planter on an infomercial it looked like the ideal setup for our patio. I ordered the item and it arrived. Purchased a shepards hook to hold the set up, moisture control dirt and my tomato plants. We live in a windy canyon, and the weight of the planter made the set up bend and crash to the ground. After about $20.00 additional dollars and a galvanize pipe it was secure. We also installed a drip system that would give the plants daily water. They were fertilized and I waited for growth. NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES ever appeared. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ITEM AT ALL. If I had ever gotten any tomato's the cost would have been about $$'s a tomato.
