What plants can be grown in it:



Tomato
The tomato is a popular plant for upside-down gardening. Cherry tomatoes are a good choice and flourish in this type of container.

Beans
Both pole and bush beans do well in upside-down containers. Be sure to water them thoroughly and place them in a sunny area.

Peppers
Bell peppers and hot peppers are good choices for an inverted garden. Hang containers in full sun and keep them well watered.

Cucumbers
Choose smaller pickling cucumbers as they are easier to grow upside-down. Bush cucumbers are not a good choice and don't do well in inverted containers.


Eggplant
