I have a nicely built ( off the deck ) container measuring 86″x23″x18″deep, The container is built totally of 2×6 cedar,with rock and proper drainage. The actually depth of organic top soil is 18″ sorry.I have all my Tomatoes and cucumbers in separate 10 gal.pots.As I am used to having 50ft. rows,and am totally stumped.How would you divide this small space up, for max. veggie production.
You could put three tomato plants in it, and then seed cucumbers along the front edge, so that the vines tumble over the sides.

TopsyTurvey Tree?
Alright, so I saw an infomercial on this planter type thing called the TopsyTurvey Tree where you can apparently grow a garden out of one pot. I’m not one to be sucked into infomercials no matter how good they sound, but I have always wanted my very own organic garden and I live in the city with only a small back “patio”. This thing seems amazing but I just don’t know. Has anyone ever tried it? It says that you can grow things other than tomatoes, but I’m really skeptical about that…well, about the whole thing in general. And my other question is, because it’s a closed container in the sun, wouldn’t mold grow in the container, damage the roots and eventually cause the plants to rot? http://topsyturvys.com/ Thanks in advance all!
For sensible: How many plants have you put in a 5 gallon bucket at a time? Or rather, what is the maximum you would put in a bucket?
The website is confusing and now also says they don’t sell the product anymore, so you need to call another number. There are obviously different products called Topsy Turvey. The original is a hanging bag you add soil to and a plant and hang up so the vegetables grow upside down. It is not a closed container, as it is open on the top. You can do the same thing with a plastic 5 gallon bucket and a hole cut in the bottom. You can also add holes to the sides and grow additional veggies from them. I have done this for 3 years.
