Regular readers will know that I do not water my tomato plants - except when first planted or in extreme circumstances.
By limiting the amount of water to the tomatoes roots, it will help create a rich flavour packed fleshy inside, and not a dribbling water mass.
I am certain that restricting a tomato of water forces a concentration taste rather than a center which is full of water only.
The cherry tomatoes especially make your taste buds tingle as they are squashed in the mouth.
If you have not tried the reduced watering regime then why not set aside a few plants next year for that purpose.
Its less effective on very light sandy soils unless you work extremely hard on preparation as described before and the advice is no good for grow bags. - How to water and feed tomatoes
