Prolem with Tomatoes grown in Pots

I have two large pots with two tomato plants in each. Three of the plants are italian tomato plants. Firstly, let me say that this is the first time 've tried growing vegetables in pots and will openly admit that they probably don't get as much water as they should (though I'm getting better).

Anyway here's the problem, I find that almost 1/4 of the tomatoes are roting from the botom (opposite side as theone that's attached ot the plant) and I've been picking them off the plant so it can use its energy to grow the nice tomatoes instead. Does anyone know what's causing the rotting? Is it the lack of water?

Plus, the soil is new and was mixed with sheep dung, all of which was bought at Rhona in the spring.
