How to care for tomatoes

First of all, I am now harvesting some beautiful tomatoes from my topsy turvy planter, however, how do you prevent the black rot at the bottom of the tomatoe? How often do you water and how often do you fertilize them? Although some of the tomatoes from the upside down planter are really nice and blemish free, some have bottom rot although the one I cut up did not go all the way inside, almost just the skin and then some. I had followed the instructions of one gallon of water everyday when the plant matures.

It was about a month ago when I planted an "Early Girl" tomatoe about a month ago. Instead of two at the bottom, I added another one on top of the planter. All three are growing strong and flowering now. I can't wait to see how good and tasty they will really be. According to the nursery where I bought the planter, the tomatoes will be "clean" and free of disease. My only concern is that an Early Girl is an indeterminate variety. Maybe I should have planted a determinate variety so the top plant will not need a support. We will see. Patience, patience.
