Bill Jarvis I think is the blogger and has an excellent site, I love reading his stuff online.
See the Aug. 12 2019 post for more on rot.
He describes doing early on, before he knew better, of doing what I was doing that I believe caused my problem, watering every day or every other day, I think that was way too often even in drought.
