I like it, but sometimes have a very hard time getting it wet the first
time. It can take forever, run off, etc. I think the peat may be hard to
moisten at first. How do you get this stuff to "moisten up" quickly -- any
ideas?

I put my pots in a bucket so the excess water can't drain as fast. Wets it down
thoroughly the first time. It works for me.
