The Topsy-Turvy planter allows you to grow beefsteaks, cherries or any other variety upside down on your balcony or deck. Simply fill the bag with potting soil, add a young seedling - almost any vine-growing fruit or vegetable will do - and let the leafy part hang out. Mount the hook, add water and fertilize.
