<div id="attachment_3369" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 290px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-3369" href="http://naturescrusaders.com/wordpress/archives/3367/upside-down-tomato-garden-planter"><img class="size-full wp-image-3369" title="upside-down-tomato-garden-planter" src="http://naturescrusaders.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/upside-down-tomato-garden-planter.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="280" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Grow veggies herbs upside down</p></div>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>For a unique, low-maintenance gardening approach, especially for those having little ground space, or want  to watch your plants grow from a different perspective upside-down gardening. This unusual method of gardening certainly has fun written into it.</p>
<p>What a conversation piece.</p>
<p>  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035XQ2N8?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=natuscrus-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B0035XQ2N8">Flambeau 6510TG-DS Compact Upside-Down Patio Garden</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=natuscrus-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B0035XQ2N8" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /></p>
<p>In fact, growing plants upside down has numerous benefits for both the gardener and the plants, of which includes the elimination of grueling gardening tasks such as tilling, weeding, or staking plants. Watering is much easier, and the plants are more vigorous. Since plants hang above the ground, there’s no worries associated with their fruits touching the soil, which significantly lessens the chances of rotting or attacks from pests.</p>
<p>Although traditionally tomato and cucumber plants are most commonly grown upside down, a wide assortment of plants can benefit from upside-down gardening, from vegetables to herbs and a variety of flowers</p>
<p>Indeterminate types, by contrast, have more flexible, sprawling stems that produce fruit throughout the season and are less likely to be harmed by gravity.</p>
<p>Gardening upside down</p>
<p>Does your world need to get turned upside down?</p>
<p>Why not start by planting your tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers and herbs upside down on your patio this year?</p>
<p>Planting upside down is the rage this year for several reasons:</p>
<p>no more hoeing or tilling, weeding or staking plants</p>
<p>watering is easier</p>
<p>pest problems are reduced</p>
<p>**water more frequently as the temperature heats up to prevent evaporation..</p>
<p>Cherry and patio tomato are the best varieties for the upside gardens. They have more flexible stems that bushier and produce fruit throughout the season and are less likely to be harmed by gravity.</p>
<p>Other plants that do well upside down are eggplant and beans. Good companion plants to those large plants are lettuce, radishes, carrots, cress and herbs like oragano, parsley, thyme and basil.</p>
<p>Good eating to you!</p>
