Garden description: I cut a hole in the bottom of these buckets and planted my tomato plants (when they were about 15cm high) so they hang upside down. I've watered them from the top and the stems haven't broken (as they often do even when you've staked them up). I've hung mine under our deck as we have limited garden space. We got so many tomatoes from our plants last year we didn't need to buy ANY all last summer and it's working well again so far this season too! I must note that these photos were taken at the end of the season so they don't look quite as healthy as they did during the season.

Hanging tomatoes - what a great idea!

That looks like a clever little trick - no more staking up of tomato plants!

I tried this and the plant turned into an alien life form...what did you put in your buckets and how did you water them?
