Default Water runs thru hanging basket w/o wetting the soil

it is a good idea to place a high absorbent diaper on the bottom. it has those water
holding crystals and the plastic facing down. the watering will hold better. Ingrid

It was nice and wet a few days ago and today it's dry and wilty.
(Nasturtium seedlings; they don't shade the surface yet.) The basket is
hanging in bright shade and gets a little sun early in the morning.

Would spraying the surface with a little soapy water help?

Thanks,
Bob
