What kind of plants are you growing? Different plants do better in different types of soil

Maybe mix in some perlite?

Agree, just take your existing soil mix and throw in something that doesn't retain water to "lighten" it.

Use a mix without moss (peat, sphagnum). Moss holds a lot of water.

Coco coir with perlite, mashed it fluffy and airy and fast draining. Add 1 part worm castings if you want too.
