Upside down garden anyone

[AndroidGirl89]

I think this seems so cool! I don't have anywhere cool to hang plants though- I have a hard enough time finding places to sit my pots that my almost 2 year old doesn't try to pull my plants out of them.

@Maddie. The pics are gorgeous. The upside down planting is new to me. I am amazed as how they put it up upside down without the contents falling out.

It seems pretty cool, I like the idea of it and it can look pretty outside of your home. I may have to try this sometime because it will be interesting to see it grow.

You can learn something everyday where horticulture is concerned, even when you're not trying. I was not aware of "String Gardening" until you mentioned it Maddie ... what an interesting concept.. I used Google images to find this really nice picture.. I am definitely going to try this..

That is a stunning photo. The plants look like pieces of modern art.
It looks like it would be difficult to do this kind of garden, but the result looks amazing.

Though the plants are actually right side up.. I love string gardens. I have tried them a couple of times.. but I seem to be doing something wrong.. maybe soon I will have some wonder plants flowering on strings.. That would be the coolest thing to have in my home

I tried the topsy turvey once. I bumped my head on it twice when I wasn't paying attention. I do think this technique has a interesting look. But, I guess I am a little basic when it comes to gardening. My friends and family always ask me why I haven't tried all the new gardening trends that are seen on commercials. I guess I am just too old for the new stuff.

LOL, at least you did give it a try. That is what matters.
I tried a couple of pieces for a string garden and my son kept walking into the plants breaking them. I decided to give the plants a break and let them grow normally. Sometimes normal is prettier than all the latest trends
I think I will still try a string garden when I have more space.

This is an interesting way of growing tomatoes, it makes it easier to pick them...but, to me, it looks a little weird:

I have the strawberry version. I am thinking about using it down the line when my strawberry plants multiply a bit more. I have two parent plants right now and one has sent out runners twice already. I am not sure I want to use the bag though because it seems like the runners would root better atop soil.

I've seen runners root on the bark of a tree, so you might be fine ChanellG. Sometimes its all about experimenting. If I were you , I would just try it, and plant strawberries from seeds as a back up plan. Strawberries are very strong and adapt really well.

Well, I'll just wait and see what happens. I don't have a lot of growing space so if the strawberry runners put out runners I'll have to find homes for them. The bag is an option as long as I have it so I'll just have to wait and see how fast the plants multiply. My original mother plant has already put out two runners so I am not going to let any of the other runners mature. I want all the plant's remaining energy to go to the berries.
