I have a few HUGE pots that have dried out pretty bad during a short

and impossible to lift let alone put in another pot to soak as I did with
the smaller ones. Is there anything I can put in the water to make it soak
in better instead of just flowing over the top and down the sides. I can't
get to the drainage hole so I can't do a soak and drain maneuver that way
either. I tried tilling up the surface soil and that helped a bit but not
very much.

You could try to mix this in to the soil of the pots.

It's worked well for me in hanging baskets. Or you could use a cheap drip
system and a water timer.
