I am not sure why others appear to be having trouble. I have never been able to grow plants before. I guess I usually overwater my plants, so these are great because the extra water just drains away. I looked for tips online, and gave it a shot. One topsy turvy, one bag of miracle grow pre-mixed potting soil, and one small tomato plant. I had more tomatoes than I could eat last summer, and gave the rest to my neighbor before they rotted. Home grown tomatoes are the best! I will never eat store bought again. I am recycling the topsy turvy from last year, and bought 3 more to add for this year. I am growing big boys again, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers. They're all doing great! I used a cheap plant hanger from walmart last year, counterbalanced with a bird feeder. This year I bought a sturdy 4 plant hanger. It's nice and tall, and mounted sturdily to my deck. I even branched out and set up a timer for my hose when I went on vacation. I have an automatic watering system set up for about $50 or less, so they all get watered twice a day whether or not I'm home. They're doing better than ever now that I set up that watering system. I live in southern maryland. Temperature here is regularly 90 or more during the summer. NO problems. Just last night, we had a nasty storm. Some branches fell down in our yard. All four planters and my watering system appear to still be intact. Next year I am going to double my crop, and add herbs to the tops of the planters. I love having a vegetable garden where I can just walk out onto my deck to pick fresh veggies every day. No effort, no maintenance required, self watering, just have to make sure the vines don't kill eachother trying to climb where they shouldn't, and remember to pick the fruits before they rot! Wish they were more attractive and wish I could find a way to move them inside and keep growing over the winter. But hey, going on 2 seasons of success is not bad at all for a brown thumb like mine!
