I have used the topsy turvy planter with Tumbler tomatoes and it worked quite well.
I do have a problem with it as it is very heavy when fully loaded with moist soil.
I hang it on a post near my driveway and then must use a ladder to add soil etc. as I can not lift the thing once it is all together and filled with soil. I use a wand to water it.

Vesey's in Canada have another form of tomatoe hanging planter which has a water reservoir built in. That is going to be heavy also. Ideally I would like to hang it from a post on a deck which is built above ground. So it could be filled and watered from the deck , but still hang above ground.
