Soil Issue

I have a couple of seedlings growing in this soil:

It seems to have pretty good reviews, but I am having problems with it. Whenever I water it, the water just sits on top of the soil. It does not soak in. No matter how much water I put in, It just pools on top and then runs down the sides and straight out the bottom. The most I ever soaked in is about half an inch below the surface. Then after that, it is bone dry. Am I watering it wrong? Any tips to make the water soak in better? Is there a problem with the soil?
