Default watering tomatoes with plastic bottles

Could someone please describe to me this method again? It has been described
on this newsgroup before, but I want to try to do it this year to see if I
can fend off blossom end rot by keeping the plants evenly moist. I have been
saving several of the large gallon sized plastic water bottles. I think what
I remember is that some tiny holes are pricked in the bottom of the jugs,
and then they are filled every other day or something. Is that correct?
Also, should the jugs, which have small lips, be capped or left open?
Thanks.
