When watering tomatoe plants that are in buckets?

i planted some tomatoe plants in big pots (about 10 gallons i guess) when watering, do i need to water enough to just wet the soil... or do i wet it untill the water starts coming out of the holes in the bottom? do i need to water all the soil? or just the middle of the pot where the plant is?? this is my first time trying to grow tomatoes...

iv'e only ever had house plants, and THEY ALWAYS DIE :)

Reply:I've got a couple plants in containers too, they let me know when they want water by looking droopy. Since it drains freely out the bottom, I water the whole container very well which perks the plants back in a couple hours and then in a couple days when they show they need more I do it again. They're doing really good.
Reply:the buckets need to be able to drain out of the botton. Water the whole pot nad then don't do it again until the dirt feels dry when you stick your finget in about 3 inches.

Too much water is as bad as not enough.
