Has anyone built a box for growing tomatoes upside down? I would like build a box,?

Question

If someone has plans on building the box, please let me in on it.
My soil is shot and the last three years my plants have started to dry up from the bottoma and the leaves are turning yellow. I will grow the plants upside next year.

Thanks

Answer 1

My neighbor puts his in big buckets with holes in the bottom for the plant to fit through and hangs them from a structure of 4 x 4 pressure treated fence posts cemented in the ground (2 posts up from ground and 1 across mounted to them with a deck bracket). Then cover them with a net to keep the birds from eating them. Also, be sure to water often and feed once a week or every 2 weeks with tomato plant food. Oh yeah, and make sure you pick them before they get fully red,(ripen in window).

Answer 2

Why don't you simply supply the soil with what it needs.
Choose a location that receives full sun. Tomatoes will tolerate a little shade, but you'll get a smaller crop. Good drainage and protection from strong winds is a must. Prepare beds with animal manure and compost, especially if your soil is mostly clay or sand. Tomatoes grow best in a slightly acid soil with a pH between 6.2 and 6.8.
