Best way to fill fabric pots with soil?

[d0773d]

I've been using 5gal fabric pots and can never fill the pots completely. The soil level tends to shrink after each watering.

What's a good way to fill 5gallon fabric pots so I can limit the soil shrinkage during watering?

I think its just a case of filling the pot after those initial waterings as its the same with coco I just top it up

I water my pots til runoff and get the level down then add more soil. Then drop beans.
