Top Garden Tips and Tutorials

Ful review

I've had gardens stored in my back yard for years. In fact, I had always had tomato gardens since I was a child. I like to grow anything from peas to asparagus to watermelon. If topsy tree can grow it, I'll give it a shot. Through my horticultural upbringing I've learned a few things. First, never ever ever over-water your plants. That's so key and most people don't get it. Less is more sometimes. What's important is that there is a good balance between sun and water, nothing more. The other thing is that plants need nutrients, and people can't get that through their heads. They need other things than just water and sun. Imagine if you just drank water and ate bread all day, would you be happy? You need vitamins and to develop relationships to strive. The same is true with plants.

So I noticed an ad on TV for it and thought OK, this seems like a pretty good idea for a novice gardener but just out of consumer responsibility I decided to buy a topsy tree and see if it worked. I must admit, it's in y kitchen right now and has already grown me 28 beautiful and delicious tomatoes. The secret is in the design. Whoever designed this was very familiar with what they were doing. In fact it's like a self regenerating plat system. You hardly have to do anything aside from giving it water after just a little while. I give it an A-. It would've received an A if it weren't for the dirt trails and the time it took to receive.

I've never planted anything in my entire life, but with the economy the way it is and after seeing the new first family's garden, I got inspired. It just seemed like a much better idea to actually go through the process of growing tomatoes myself and other fruits/veggies. The problem is that you never know where a fruit or veggie is going to come from and so that's actually pretty frustrating. The big thing about it all is that it is a big unknown. What kinds of pesticides were used? What kinds of bugs may have been in the crop? Where is it from? Do I have anything to worry about? You know, important questions. The biggest thing for me is not just whether or not it tastes good, but what's it actually going to do for me or to me. It's a pretty big concern and should be with things like swine flu going around. I think that was just another reminder that a big flu pandemic will be on it's way soon enough and thet's exactly why we need things like topsy tree to make us healthier. I give topsy tree an A.

Every time I've tried to plant a garden I invest more time than expected. Sure it's a great idea for anyone who has plants or perhaps a maid to tend to the garden an hour or two per day but I just don't have that kind of time. For me it is all about time because time is money no matter what anyone says. If I'm out planting I'm not making any money. That's frustrating to me because I really do want to live a healthier and better lifestyle like I should be living but I just don't really see that happening or at least I didn't. Just a few days ago I saw the ad for it and it got me thinking What if I could just grow something indoors and not worry about spending so much time with the tilling of a garden and daily upkeep. That's really what it all comes down to, is the time in upkeep that I'm spending. So anyways, I decided to make the purchase and I think it's going to be well worth it. When I looks at how much I spend on tomatoes alone throughout the year, it's kind of ridiculous. I mean, seriously. So for the investment, it will surely be worth it, I think. I can't grade it just yet, but I'll let you know once I receive it. I think I will be a fan though!

Every other offer I've seen on TV (aside from topsy tree) I tend to avoid because they talk about helping all of your problems go away. It's getting kind of silly anything from snuggie blankets to weight loss pills. I just didn't know what or who to trust anymore? For me it's more about the trust from a corporation whether something will work or not. After reading some of the previous users and their honest concerns and successes, I'm going to give it a try. Even though I don't eat that many tomatoes I think it will be fun and also it's good to know where your foods are being grown from. With topsy tree, mine will be from my kitchen.
