Beefsteaks 'n Buckets

We want to do a cheap version of the Topsy Turvey Tomato Grower and use some 5 gallon pails we have laying around.
Momma bought some Beefsteaks and Early Girls today and was wondering if the Beefsteaks will be too Heavy for the buckets. ie, will their weight cause them to fall out of the buckets?
I plan on cutting 2" holes around the sides of the pails and plant them in there, unless y"all might have some better suggestions.
My thumb is pretty brown.

Thanks,
Chuck
 
I did that with big beefsteaks just put one 2'' hole in the bottom worked great ,and put a pepper plant on the top.
 
Trying for the hanging gardens of Babylon eh?

So how does one get the urge to try to upside down hanging tomatoes? Is there some television infomercial that gives the idea? If so, I've never seen it but I only watch over the air broadcast signal and it may not be aired.

Not trying to discourage you from experimenting but I have to wonder did you ever see plants growing like that in nature? Well, perhaps other than some ivy or house plant string of pearls?

Please report back at the end of the season and let us know how the project did.
 
Hi GBMan,
Check the link below for more info.
I have Direct TV, but I really don't know what channels I've seen the infomercial. Looks like fun and has some good benefits; less pest infestation, less weeding...

Interesting concept for sure. Thanks for the page link with video.

I did just think of ONE MAJOR advantage--shouldn't have any tomato horn worm damage. Those things are about the only critter I find truly disgusting.
