I think more frequent watering a will help too. Daily watering in organic soil for me. I never get runoff. But daily watering to try to stay in the just right moisture level to facilitate healthy soil food web.

We always say feed the soil not the plant.
so it should be the same thing with our watering.

add moisture to the-earth not watering trees.

Simple ... I use a catch pan and introduce water slowly thru then rewet with the runoff til full saturation.
But , even a wetting agent as stated will work too. And I use FFOF.

It’s not their fault tho.
We think misinformation is new. I think the big chemical companies years ago bought up the information flow to growers. It was all flushing and ph and pk perp enhancer $$$$. Basically all the “traditional” mainstream cultivation techniques. Fed to growers before internet through magazines and word of mouth bro scientists. Haha.

Abundant in RUI, sometimes the peek their heads into the organic section. Looking for the best organic bottles to use etc... no shame. Can grow many ways etc... just for me, and my personal opinion, a well dialed organic pot of soil, makes the best weed, and takes the smallest effort once properly established. Super low cost if you have your own worm bin and worms in the pots, cover crop and chop, top dresses etc etc you know the deal already I’m sure
