All you have to do to keep the soil from being hydrophobic is to rough up the top 1/2 inch of soil when it hardens. And pour a cup of water slowly and wait a minute if too dry. Then water.

I use a salad fork or the probes on my moisture meter to scatch the surface every few days. Water then penetrates evenly.

Yeah, I use a wooden lolly stick to loosen any hardened soil, spray it & leave it for about 20 minutes then water.
Soil seems to absorb the watering a lot more evenly....
