Default Re: upside down planter

With tomatoes and most other fruiting vegetables, the volume of roots will approximately equal the volume of harvest. For example, a gallon-size planter with tomatoes will yield about a gallon of fruits. The cucurbitoids (squashes, melons) are an exception to this rule of thumb.
