does your soil contain any clay?

It is mineral/rock powder. It does not
retain water. I does repel it though. It
will eventually sink in, but takes about a
half hour of standing. When it dries back out,
it is very similar to cement and will throw
sparks to a shovel or ax.

organic material and a bit of clay will help
keep both water and nutrients in place.

Peat moss and organic chicken skat based fertilizer plus
back fill (2/3 is rock) seem to be doing the trick
