Try it and see if it works And then let us know! Surely home shopping network wouldn't be able to sell it if it didn't work? I dunno?

I think you plant a 'seedling' rather than a seed. I have planted a roma in a green bag upside down to test this theory of the topsy turvy and I got another roma seedling that I planted in a large pot, same time, same size. The upside down roma has given me 1 tomato and is a very bare plant, the potted one went really bushy and gave 2 tomatoes but has brown spots all over the leaves so I think it got some sort of disease. With my pitiful attempt I say the upside down failed and I won't be doing it again.

I've seen snippets of the ads and I'm left baffled.

Plants do respond to gravity and sunlight. They'll grow towards sun and gravity is what tells them to send shoots up and roots down. If a pot plant tips over it won't continue to grow horizontally, but will start growing up.

I'd love to hear if it works, because logic and science tells me that it won't.

Hmm, I dunno. But I will say that in times gone by when I can't be arsed staking my tomatoes they grow fine running along the ground...

I suppose it would lose alot of energy trying to support itself?

I wonder if requires a specific type of tomato plant that has been messed with so that it grows upside down?

[widdly]

looking forward to hearing whether it works
