ok...here it is

the bucket is a good idea

put the wow around the plant
fill 3 holes on one side 1/4 of the way
fill 3 holes on the other side 1/4 of the way
3 holes to the left 1/4 of the way
then the final unfilled holes the 1/4 of the way

Now the WOW is standing on its own,
fill around the WOW but only up to 1/2 way all the way around
Then fill the rest of the way once all the tubes are up to 1/2 full.

You cant fill one tube completely or it just collapses, this way the tubes
support each other until full, plus the plant gets a good soaking of water
while doing this.

Also...

when you water, put an upside down soda bottle in the ground next to the
plant with the bottom cut off, then fill the bottle up with water. The cold
water from a hose, will shock the plant that is inside its nice warm WOW.3

It also makes watering very quick as you just fill up the bottle AND it
keeps the water off of the plant (tomatos dont like wet leaves)

In addition to the points that Wes Dukes mentioned in another response,
I've
sometimes used the Wall o Water (WOW) as "really big dripper" by filling
the
interior of the WOW with water. It doesn't leak out too much around the
edges, so most of the water is absorbed by the ground around the plant,
rather than running off. I have really sandy soil, so it's difficult to
maintain "water basins" around the plants.

Filling the tubes of a WOW without having it tip over can be a little
tricky; I put a 5-gal. bucket upside down over a plant, then put the WOW
around the bucket to fill it.

What is wall o waters?

A sort of miniature plastic greenhouse.
See http://www.veseys.com/store.cfm?product=850

Thanks. So its basically just plastic filled with water that surrounds
the
plant base? Interesting.
