Everyone has caught onto the upside-down tomato craze. The Topsy Turvy pepper planter works on the same principal that growing against gravity makes your plants stronger. For a small or hobby garden, the Topsy Turvy Pepper Planter is a good tool.
The Pepper Planter is easy to set up. Pour in soil, plug in plants and water. It is easy for gardeners young and old. The only other thing to make the plants grow is to water regularly.
One of the drawbacks of the Topsy Turvy Tomato planter is that it needs to be watered daily so it doesn’t dry out. The root structure of peppers is smaller, and there isn’t a spot for a plant to grow on the bottom of the pepper planter, so it tends to stay moist longer. In my potting mix, I used moisture control potting soil and vermiculite. I can leave my planter a week without watering. The Pepper Planter design is a huge benefit over the original Topsy Turvy and can fix any moisture problems with proper choice in potting soil.
Overall, it is a good product. For a hobby garden or the “neat factor”, I would recommend the Topsy Turvy Pepper Planter.

very Cool. Looks like fun!
I meant to build one of these of my own this year but never got around to it. Probably will go this year with boring old black nursery pots
Great to see you back at it Red. Maybe someday I’ll be able to get those Bhut seeds you sent me to germinate. Until then, Be sure to check in with UHGU we have a lot of exciting things in the makings.
Nice to see you back Red, thanks for commenting recently on my blog. Hope your experiment with this Topsy Turvy goes well.
