Smaller grape tomatoes work well grown upside down.
Upside-down tomatoes in a bucket allow you to protect your plants from pests while provide you with the superior taste of homegrown fruits. 
Smaller-fruited tomatoes such as cherry or grape work better than large beefsteaks, which stress the hanging plant. Repurpose a clean 5-gallon bucket with a lid and handle, such one that contained paint or drywall compound, or buy one new.
Instructions
1. Drill a 1-inch hole in the bottom of the bucket.
2. Shake enough dirt from a tomato plant to insert the root into the hole in the bottom. Keep the plant on the outside of the bucket and the roots on the inside.
3. Wrap the roots with Spanish moss to create a nest with your tomato roots in the middle. Fill bottom of the bucket about 2 inches deep with the moss.
4. Hang the bucket from a tree limb or patio girder able to support up to 50 pounds of weight. Fill the bucket about three-quarters full with a potting mix, which is lighter than soil. Add water-retaining crystals.
5. Water the plant every day in the heat of summer.
