Not sure but a better way to fix your problem is getting some perlite.

I would be worried about the light reaching my roots. As TBG says use perlite in your soil.

I'm going to agree with these guys and say don't poke holes, just use perlite, its cheap and you don't run the risk of damaging the roots.

Just aerate the water that you use on the plants. That should suffice.

To treat over watering, simply let the soil dry out for a few more days than usual. Anything else is just asking for complications.
