Hanging the upside down tomato planter can be a bit tricky. You will need to make sure that you have a great support system in place because after the plant starts to grow and you have wet dirt the planter will get very heavy, around seventy pounds.

If you are only using one Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter then just make sure you get a durable hook the will hold up to eighty pounds of a little more if you want more leeway. This is a quick and cost effective fix and will make a big difference in keeping your hanger hanging.
The other method for hanging your Topsy Turvy Planter is for if you are planning on hanging multiple planters.
If you are using more then one planter then you should consider building your own support system out of wood. Making a wooden frame should only take you a couple of hours to make and chances are you have the wood already.
Make the frame to be either a square or rectangular and put it in your yard. If it’s not perfect it’s alright. The plants grow towards the sun and end up covering most of the wood. When the plants are in full swing it’s going to look phenomenal.
If you don’t like the idea of just having a wooden frame in your yard or up against your house grab some extra paint you have laying around and give it a few coats.
Take the few extra minutes to make the frame yours because the Topsy Turvy Tomato Planters last a long time so a few extra minutes to make the frame yours will provide you years of joy.
