Make sure you read this if you are using the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter this year. Failure to hang your tomato planter correctly will result in you not having an easy time growing your tomato’s.
Because the tomato planter will weigh around seventy pounds when it’s watered and you have a thriving plant hanging it properly is important and a bit tricky. You have to make sure that you have the proper support to hold your hanger up.
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 only have one hanging planter to hang then just make a trip to your local hardware store and buy a stronger hook. Make sure it can hold up to 80lbs. to make sure it’s strong enough. This is a small thing that will make a huge difference between having your hanging plant hanging or on the ground.
The other alternative is for if you plan on using more then one planter.
To hang multiple tomato planters you should consider building your own wooden frame. It will only take a few hours to make and you might even have all of the wood you need already.
Depending on how many planters you have just make a nice and simple square or rectangular frame to stick in your yard. It does not have to be exact, it just has to be sturdy. Keep in mind that when your tomato plants take off they will cover most of the wood because they grow upwards and it is going to look stunning.
If you’d rather not have a bare wood frame in your yard then get creative. If you have paint then give it a few coats or do anything else you can think of to make it unique and yours.
The Topsy Turvy Planters last a long time so one afternoon of work will provide you years of joy so go ahead and spend a few extra minutes sprucing up your frame.
