Thanks for your reply.. i just use miracle grow soil.. but i think i have very hard or mineral heavy water..
nut ya know i do need to check to seenif its mostly the clay pots that get that super hard soil or bothe clay and plastic.. i mean damn.. the soil is gets so hard it literally repells the water. Seriously i will have to take pics or video.. i will water and it will just sit right on top of the soil for an extremely long time with pieces of soil floating around.. and then i poke a hole safely as possible and it starts to go in.. its crazy.. it just gets all compact after a while.. it doesnt start that way at all.. wonder f the water could do that.. hmmm.
