For those of you who aren't aware, this is a Topsy Turvy. Its a fantastic invention that grows plants upside down! This specific bad boy was very generously donated to our gardening cause by a fellow gardener (Thanks Jen C).
We have put a Sequoia Strawberry plant in the Topsy Turvy as our local garden center horticulturalist said its a great way to grow strawberries. Also, he said it makes it harder for the squirrels to get them.
Its a simple concept, place the plant in a Styrofoam ring at the bottom that holds the plant in place and then you add the potting soil into the bag on top. From there on out you just water from the top occasionally and fill in more soil from the top as it compacts.
It has its place on the back porch near the garden, so lets see how it does.
