I have heard different opinions as how much to water tomatoes.

Some say that overwatering them is no good for them.

Can anyone advise please.

In addition to Len's advice, another important thing to watch is not
to water tomatoes unevenly - a couple of smaller waterings twice a
week is better than a big weekly or fortnightly soaking.

The reason for this is that tomatoes are prone to splitting their
skins if they get uneven watering.

Also try to minimise splashing from the soil to the leaves when
watering. This reduces the risk of fungal infections.
