How come plants in AeroGarden don’t get root-rot?

311 views

Hello,

In an AeroGarden, the roots to a plant are submerged in water pretty much 24/7 (unless you let your Garden run dry which is a no-no). Yet I’ve never had a plant get root-rot.

Yet when you over-water stuff in a plant-pot, the plants are very likely to suffer/die from root-rot. Why?

Thank you!

Look into kratky buckets. Super simple— just a non-aerated tub of water the roots stay partially submerged in at all times. No pumps, no sprayers, no bubblers.

I’m growing tomato, lettuce, bell pepper, strawberry, and oregano like this with no issues. Just topping off the nutrient mix from time to time.
