I do it the same way but more gently (In-out motion as opposed to a plowing one) as the granules do break down in size. Also do note your mech filtration will "suffer", as in it'll constantly be dark brown regardless of fish waste.

Why do you wanna use soil for your fish? If it's for lowering pH, you might wanna try other methods. Less mess and easier to maintain.
