This is a homemade way to do hanging tomatoes. Find two old hanging baskets that match. The hanging wire holes must match too. The hole in the bottom must be large enough to accommodate a good-sized tomato stem. To keep the little tomato from falling through, cut a small piece of styrofoam to cover the hole. Make a slit in the styrofoam to slide in the stem of the small tomato, allowing the tomato to be firmly held so that it will not fall through. The hole in the styrofoam can be quite small. Fill with planting mix. Fasten the top basket in place. These containers have just been planted and need to stay in the shade a few days. Then the tomatoes should be placed on a sturdy holder since they will be heavy. Then they will need some sun. Keep watered, but not to excess.
As you can see from last year's example, the plant prospers in the home-made container.
