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

Question

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!

You can! In fact if you look far enough in my post history you’ll find it. I seem d to notice that it happens much quicker if you leave one of the holes open.
