Topsy Turvy® Upside Down Planters are turning the world of gardening upside down. It is truly the easiest way to grow and enjoy produce without all of the work – perfect for urban gardeners, novices, as well as those who don’t have the time or space to dedicate to an in-ground garden. Simply plant the seedlings, hang the planter, water, and then watch as delicious fruits, vegetables or herbs flourish. No digging, weeding, staking or bending over required!
Topsy Turvy® planters work in a simple yet ingenious way with a patented Grow Bag Technology. As the sun warms the plant like a greenhouse, the root system thrives in the planter’s potting soil. Because the Topsy Turvy® planter is upside down, water and nutrients pour directly from the root to the fruit, giving the user up to 30 pounds of ripe fruits or vegetables per plant.
In addition to the original Tomato Planter, new Topsy Turvy Upside Down Planters include:
- Topsy Turvy Tomato & Herb Planter: A deluxe planter for gardeners who want more versatility and growing capacity. Gardeners can grow their favorite herbs right alongside vine ripe tomatoes - up to 30 pounds! (MSRP: $12.99)

Flood® wood care products offers great ideas to ready your deck for summer entertainment. A do-it-yourself project for a gloomy day is to prep your deck for staining, which is one of the best ways to protect your investment from the elements and keep it looking nice and easy to maintain. To ensure the best results, be sure to properly clean and brighten the wood surfaces with a product like Flood Wood Cleaner, which gets rid of dirt and grime. Products like Flood Wood Stripper will renew the appearance of previously coated services. Once cleaned, wood should dry for at least 48 hours before stain is applied. A properly cleaned deck should be stained within 30 days of cleaning. After 30 days, a light cleaning with bleach and water before staining will do the trick.
Flood Wood Cleaner/Stripper: $25-$30/gallon.
Flood Wood Stains: $22-$30/gallon (depending on product)
