I cant water my soil without it turning to mud and compacting!

How do I fix this? As soon as i pour water onto the soil it soaks it all up turning it into mud and making it really compact. But If i dont add enough water the soil isnt wet enough and drys up really quickly. What do I do?

Repot into "seed starting soil" it will not only not compact,it will increase growth!

What is a good seed starting soil?

jiffys is what i reccomend

or add some pete moss, perlite etc to lighten up the soil mix.. you want to add something that won't compact and will help drainage.. like perlite
