I have a tomato in about a 10 gallon pot. I assume it takes in heat and

mulch. Last year I drench once daily about 3 in the afternoon and the
fruit skin split from the excess watering at least i think that is waht
caused it. I also assume it is ok for it to go dry than water, more
natural, anyway, rather than assuming anything, can anyone offer
watering suggestions?

Do your pots drain? I've never been able to over water mine.
