I have a silicone collapsable collanders on the boat. It's wonderful. Folds FLAT, easy to clean, soft... now the upside down plants on the boat. I keep thinking of the birds they would attract and those droppings.

I wouldn't do it.

Having grown tomatoes indoors in a house I can tell you it's really not that practical. Yes, you might get some tomatoes, but by the time you go to all the trouble you'd be better off to just clean the cushions and look for spare change to buy some tomatoes on shore. Why ? Well here are some things a lot of people don't know about tomato plants ...

- They need a LOT of water
- They STINK. Yes, the foliage smells bad, especially if you brush against it.
- They ITCH. The foliage will make your skin itch
- It's a LOT of trouble for very little payoff.

Plants like this are really better left to those on shore who can grow them outdoors. It can be done, but I can think of about a thousand things I'd rather be doing than trying to grow tomato plants on a boat. Better to sprout seeds, or grow some basil or something, at least basil smells nice.

The Wife and I have a PVC hydroponics set up to hang off our port side, were able to grow tomatoes, green beans, squash, and cucumbers. just have to keep the fresh-water pumping thru it.
