I've read that it is most likely inconsistent watering. So am I
watering too much/too little. Too much at 1 time, not enough at 1
time???

To get even watering try this:

Take a gallon plastic milk jug and poke a small hole in the bottom
with a nail. Bury it up to it's neck beside your tomato, and fill
twice a week.

That is an awesome idea!

Eh, best if done when planting the tomato. I would worry about damaging
the root structure, once the tomato is mature. Also not sure what it
would do to the over all crop at this point. Use in conjunction with
mulch.
