sounds like it has dried out a bit too much. When that happens if you water it the water will then run straight through the soil. I would say Bill is probably right then, along with other things, letting soil go brick hard is a no no. If it does it requires a very slow water to get the moisture back in the substrate.
i check before i water my plants but never tested the soil will try that thanks also the soil is v compact and hard to penetrate with my fingers i dont know why this has happened as it hasnt on any of my others?
