Default Re: Soil drainage question

I've seen this watering issue with my potted plants as well. I usually water a pot twice - that gives the top layer of soil some time to 'expand' and allow the second watering to soak in more. This may not matter if root density is the actual problem - I never thought of that!

I also plant some pots directly in the ground which might help things some. I wonder if poking holes down into the soil with a stick would be helpful.
