This ingenious planter takes the toil out of tomatoes by elevating the planting bed so vines grow downward. Hanging vines need almost no attention as tomatoes ripen in the air (not on the ground) where they won't rot. Complementary plants like basil, parsley, rosemary, and peppers can be planted on top, which holds up to 80 lbs. of topsoil. The compact planter can fit in any space with ample sunlight, even condominium balconies. A hollow base filled with sand (not included) keeps it stable and upright. The plastic planting bed, supported by PVC pipes, has openings for four tomato plants underneath, with pop-out perforations for four additional openings. Minimal assembly; requires no tools. 48" H x 25" sq. (19 lbs.)
My girlfriend bought one of these for her father last Christmas and he loves it. One tip though, take time to decide where you want to set it up, because it is really hard to move after you put water/sand and topsoil in it.
