Today I have tried a new way (to me anyway) of growing tomatoes.
A few months back I bought an upside-down container for growing tomatoes in from the pound shop.
The idea is to put the plant in the bottom of the bag with the leaves hanging down, and then you fill the bag with compost and then water and feed as you would a normal tomato.
It is supposed to keep the plant away from slugs and snails, and encourage fruit development as there is no stress on the branches and stems from the weight of the fruit.
I eventually got around to putting this up this afternoon - has anyone else ever tried this, and how did it go?
