Gardener's Revolution™ Planter
A Revolutionary Planter for Tomatoes — New and Improved for 2010!
Upside-down growing has become increasingly popular with tomato lovers. It removes the need for staking, tying or weeding, and it significantly reduces the chance of soil-borne disease. Since the fruit doesn't touch the ground, it has fewer blemishes, and you can hang your planter anywhere that gets plenty of sun.
Our Gardener's Revolution™ Planter has a unique top-down watering system that delivers the right amount of moisture to the soil. The new, woven-poly liner opens up for planting, then zips shut — you won't injure the plant trying to push it through a hole. The liner is also air-permeable to aerate roots and prevent heat build-up. An improved, two-part powder-coated steel cage encloses the liner, and the planter hangs from our unique swivel hook that makes it a breeze to turn your plant.
Even if you have a regular garden, you'll find that this revolutionary growing system is a fun way to get a picture-perfect harvest of delicious, homegrown tomatoes.

- No weeds, no pests, no cages and now easier to plant!

Comments about Gardener's Revolution™ Planter:
I haven't used the planters yet, but I was confident enough with Gardeners recommendation to purchase four of them. I had used some of the TV advertised planters, but they didn't hold up through a full season!

Cons
- Grows Mold/Mildew
Best Uses
- Outdoor Plants
Comments about Gardener's Revolution™ Planter:
We tried this 2 years in a row. Last year Gardeners supply sent us new wicking strips which seemed to help. I would not recommend this if you have a windy yard. The wind really bangs up the plants as they sway and damages the tomatoes and blossums.
Might work great in a more protected area.

- Attractive Design

Comments about Gardener's Revolution™ Planter:
Purchased one before and had a hard time getting the plant in (okay not real good at this), but with this new design the only draw back is gone! Only have grown a few items, the watering system really helped.
Starting using so my grandmother could see the tomatoes-right at her eye level, added no bending over, added no staking, added no bug problem PLUS it's just neat, everyone talks about it when they come over.

Cons
- Deteriorates/Rots

Comments about Gardener's Revolution™ Planter:
I had good luck with tomatoes, The " self watering" device never worked well, perhaps becuase of our low humidity in central Texas. I had a hose nearby and added a little water everyday. The Tomatoes were excellent and numerous. However, by second season, the bag had some deteriation and there are no replacements. It was suggessted that I by the whole apparatus again, ( I had a 4 hanging pole) so I am going to try to make my own bags, Wish me luck
