How to Grow Pesticide Free Upside Down Tomato Plants

Here is a fun and easy way to grow delicious tomatoes without using pesticides to keep bugs away. Marigold plants are the Key! Because Bugs hate Marigolds. They are a natural deterrent to bugs. So you won't have to use pesticides on your Tomato Plants.

Things You'll Need

• Mesh hanging plant basket or plastic hanging plant basket
• 2 to 4 Marigold flower plants.
• 2 to 4 Cherry or Grape Tomato Plants.
• Potting Soil
• Water

Instructions

1. 

   First you take your hanging basket; I prefer the mesh hanging basket, they are easier to cut with scissors. Or you can use the plastic kind also. You'll cut 2 to 4 wholes about one inch in diameter in the bottom sides of the planter. The number of wholes is dependent on how many tomato plants you want to grow.

2. 

   After you've cut the holes you take your tomato plants out of their pots and lay the tomato plants down on their sides in the bottom of the hanging basket poking the plant portion through the holes you made, keeping the root section in the basket. After you've put all 2 or 4 tomato plants through the holes, put potting soil in the hanging basket and plant your marigold flowers on top.

3. 

   Hang your basket and water as needed. Soon you will be enjoying your own delicious tomatos!

Tips & Warnings

• Don't make the holes to large.
