Ok boys and girls sit down and enjoy the show, we are about to find out if the Topsy-Turvy tomato thingy really does grow more and bigger tomatoes or not. Let’s get started! First, I was too cheap to pay $19.95 for a real Topsy-Turvy and definitely wasn’t paying the $49.95 for the privilege of taking home a Topsy-Turvy swing/stand or something or another; so we have modified the experiment as follows

Note - To be fair, I will run two identical experiments. That way if one croaks of natural causes the T-T won’t have to take the fall

I will use two five gallon buckets to conduct the experiment instead of the T-T’s (see attached picture)

Purchased two five gallon plastic buckets for $2.34 each
Purchased one five inch Big Beef tomato plant for $3.48 each.
Note – the pot has two nice tomato plants growing in it.

Shortly I will assemble the two projects and get them into a growing posture. I will report and update on the progress, if any, weekly or at such times I may think about it.
