Tomato plants are going to curve toward the light too. It is the weight of the fruit that makes it keep growing downwards. So.... once the plant starts budding, the weight of the buds should do the same, right? Obviously not as much weight, but it will work i'm thinking/hoping. Why do this? I have had trouble with cutting worms and things of that nature. If the plant is off the ground, many of the complications i have had from planting in the ground will be no more. diseases, deer, getting stepped on by animals, ect.. If camoflauged well, the eye in the sky will have a less chance of seeing it also, compared to if it were planted in the ground right side up. Thanks for opinions.
