    not really - they want to grow upwards - I don't think it will work very well.

    look for seeds of "tumbling tom" or "minibel" http://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/chilternseeds/211/default/

    You could grow them in a novel way, google "upside down tomatoes"
    However I tried it and couldn't get it to work properly.

    Biggest question here is. Why do you want to grow moneymaker?? Horrible, if you are going to grow a tomato at home, you want taste and some variety you can't get in a supermarket, there are loads more deserving tomatoes available.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Some varieties can although I dont know which as my neighbour has grown some that way last year only very small toms though
  • Don't bother with Money Maker if you want flavour! They wont work in baskets either. You need a tumbling variety for baskets.
