Too Much Water... I Think

Thank you so much for your watering tip. I am new to container gardening as we are doing our first "gig" as a RV workamper. I planted these gorgeous tomato plants about 4 weeks ago and they have now developed a few yellow leaves at the bottom.

I was told to pour the water on them... that I couldn't water them too much, but I had a gut feeling that I WAS watering them too much. Tomorrow, I will start testing the soil better by checking how wet or dry it is further into the pot. I don't have a way to water from below, but hopefully, I'll quit drowning them. I do have some young fruit, so, I'm hoping they will mature.

This will be my first success at growing anything other than ivy. Wish me luck!
