no constant feed they get tons of oxygen as it's in mist form oxygen is mixed in at a great rate.in hydroponics where the roots stay submersed thats where you need air stones to keep the air pumping into the roots at all times.like diving with air tanks we can stay under water for long times as we have oxygen to keep us alive pretty much the same with the roots. now with ebb and flow"flood/drain" this would be the case having the timer as there is no air supplied to the roots when the tray is full.so they drain the table to allow the roots to breathe.

ps now true aero with the foggers can be a bit pricey those fogger units are'nt cheap.thats why i use misters.i do a aero"misters"dwc combo.
