My version of Topsy Turvy hanging tomatoes.
I used 5 gallon buckets from Home Depot (lovely, I know).



I put the holes on the sides of the buckets.
Two plants per bucket for Early Girls; three for cherries.
We planted them on March 14 so,
with luck, home grown tomatoes in mid- May!




Holes for drainage.



Hard to see but,  we tapped into the existing drip system and ran a line 
up the post to the buckets.





We fed the line through holes drilled in the lid.
I just poked some holes in the line but, the water comes out a little too fast.
I need to take the lids off and attach some bubblers to the line to slow it down.
