  Are you talking about the Topsy Turvey bag?

  I bought the strawberry one and plan on trying it out this season.  My dad and step mom had the tomato one and he said it didn't work for them, but they didn't water it enough I guess. I think good watering is key for those.

  best of luck!

  I bought a strawberry basket from Home Depot and it seems to be doing well.  It has quite a few flowers on it so we'll see if they turn into fruit!

  I usually lurk here but we have the topsy turvy and planted cherry tomatoes last year. They turned out wonderful. best tomato crop i have ever had. just make sure to water it A LOT! they dry out faster than plants.

  I bought the strawberry basket one about three years ago and it didn't grow at all.  I'm guessing it was a dud but I'm not going to try it again any time soon.

  I have two topsy turvy planters that I used last year.  I planted regular tomatoes in one and zucchini in the other, but I also planted late because we had moved in the beginning of June.  The tomatoes didn't work at all.  I had a lot of blossoms, but no fruit.  The zucchini on the other hand worked out wonderfully!  I bought a strawberry planter to try this year.  I am also going to do zucchini again and probably cherry tomatoes.
