Hanging Tomato Planters - The Space Saving Solution

Hanging tomato planters are the ideal solution for anyone who loves the idea of growing their own tomatoes but is worried about lack of space. Choosing space-saving hanging style planters allows you to grow your own delicious tomato crop in your own house, apartment or on your balcony, without having to sacrifice a large amount of space.

The Space Saving Choices

Normal tomato planters rely on your tomatoes being grown in a planter, with the vines reaching upwards, tied to either bamboo canes or a trellis for added support. Often these planters will rest on low tables in order to give the tomato vines room to grow. This will not only take up space but also requires regular weeding.

Hanging planters, on the other hand allow you to grow your tomatoes without the need for planter trays, canes or trellis and eliminate the need for weeding. Upside-down planters are an excellent idea and come in many different materials.

The ''Topsy Turvy Planter'' is a on such design and is very similar to a basket that hands upside down. The roots of the tomato plant are contained in the bottle shaped container while the tomato-laden vines grow downwards. This means that this innovative method takes up no more room than a regular hanging basket.

For those with a little more space, such as a balcony or patio area, then there are free standing patio planters that are also designed to grow your vegetables in a downward position. Whatever you choose for your vegetable growing needs, remember no matter how small an area you have there are tomato planters to suit you.
