"my tomatoes keep rotting before they get ripe...:("Sounds like blossom end rot, caused by a calcium deficiency. They have liquid calcium in the stores that you mix with water and spray on the plants. You'll get good results quickly.

This is primarily caused by a calcium and magnesium deficiency, but it can also be caused by over watering or too much rain. Try scattering a tablespoon of Epsom Salt at the base of each plant. If they are rotting on the sides it's probably a fungus. Try spraying them with Neem oil about once a week to kill the fungus.
