Hi Chris,
Sounds like you had your work cut out for you. Whatever I pot up or repot any of my plants I always use premoistened soil media. I mix it in large quantities on my driveway turning it with a snow shovel and wetting it down with a garden hose. When it's premoistened the water that you add once you pot up your plants flow straight through to the bottom. I never use dry soil media because, as you might notice, it repels the water. This is what works for me.
Happy gardening!
