You said that you added potting soil, so that's likely the reason for the excess dirt, but has anybody else ever heard of the connection between the volume of dirt and the phase of the moon?
Yes I do. When it is in the DARK of the moon, it seems like less dirt, because you can't SEE it.

Just ask me. I am the font of misinformation. .
