If you mist your soil real good with a spray bottle or better a pump sprayer before you water , this will get the top soil damp and help the water or feeding solution soak in rather than stay on top of the dry soil spilling over the edges.

Or you could water from the bottom if you’re concerned about having dry pockets in there.
Place the bag in a pan of your solution and let her soak it up. It would require some flushing, using this method, but could ease your mind.
