Last year when I tryed watering my plants the water just ran right of the soil that was in the grow bags Killed me thanks for the help
Thanks my friendLook into yucca extract as an organic wetting agent. Here is one that works quite well. While you're at their site, look at their "Healthy Soil Recipe". Haven't tried it myself, but it looks quite interesting.

Coco-wet.
every week or so take a fork and cultivate the top layer of soil, I am not sure if it's the increased surface area of the soil with all the scratches in it or what but I do know it works. slowly pour some water in to get the top layer wet, then in 20 minutes finish watering. this also lessens runoff.
