Ghetto Tomato

I'm sure you have seen the infomercial for the "Topsy Turvy Tomato Tree".

Great concept. Tomatoes use gravity to grow. I love gravity too, but this thing is sooooo gimmicky and....

pricey

$40+ $20shipping, really? $60 for a bucket, green sheet, and stand? really?

Ummm, no. We can do better than that!

Ghetto farm boy to the rescue. I made my own, ghetto farm boy style!

Introducing.....

"tommy's upside 'mater grower"







$1 bucket from dollar store, .15 cent sponge, homegrown 'mata plant, used wood.

BAM!

Ghetto farm boy strikes again.

I'll probably get a law suit from the Topsy Turvy people.

seeds growing into plants then growing into food.

Here is one example with lettuce and peas.

We have so much lettuce that we can't eat it all!
We gave tons away.
