Would you try continuous drip in soil with hyper oxygenated water?

Has anyone tried continuous drip with hyper oxygenated water in quality soil on recirculation? Would you ever try that? Would the oxygenated water compensate for the problem of overwatering as in DWC, but in soil? Why would you or would you not try this?

Continuous drip with recirculation would do great if you can cover these parameters: grow medium aeration, drainage, and filtration (if reusing the irrigation water). As I mentioned in my other answer to you as long as good drainage and aeration is implemented, then overwatering and root rot can be avoided completely (I explained everything there). oxidized irrigation solution might increase root growth and overall plant vigor but wont replace media aeration and drainage completely, it's like suffocating your plant and inviting *HARMFUL* fungi to your root zone and plant.

The medium of soil itself does not lend well to quick draining.. So you'd have a lack of drainage.. If you had a high amount of drainage medium you could probably get away with it. I use a continuous feed or drip type system but the medium is Clay pellets and it drains like crazy.. So basically if you want loads of water your gonna need the drainage (to allow for the roots to get air) but it's basically hydroponics at this point so you'd be better to get a reusable medium.. Like stones or clay pellets and grow in that but at that point you are growing hydro lol.. Does this make sense? does to me. If you have too much automation and auto feeding then really your taking way the ease of growing in dirt away and your better to set yourself up to grow with Coca Coir or Hydro/aero because these are the "fastest" ways to grow given that your doing things correctly.
