Growing Media

01

grow

Lettuce does best in a loose, well-drained soil, with regular watering and adequate nitrogen. Whether your soil is heavy clay or a light sandy type, the incorporation of compost will often improve the growing conditions

02

soil

Prepare your planting bed by loosening the soil to at least 10 inches deep. Mix in an inch or so of good compost or well-rotted manure

03

Sowing

There are many different types and varieties of lettuce but with regard to sowing we either want one single head of lettuce or a bunch of plants for cut and come again production

Care

01

WATER

Lettuce has shallow roots, so plants need consistent watering. Check at least twice a week and water if the soil is dry down to 1 inch deep. Containers of lettuce need to be watered more frequently than garden beds, especially in the summer

02

life cycle

total life cycle for lettuce is 48 days from the seed to harvest. Germination takes place in the germination rooms under germination specific conditions

03

fertilizer

Feed lettuce plants every two weeks with a balanced water soluble or granular fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 or a 5-5-5, diluted to half strength. Look for a fertilizer in which the three numbers separated by hyphens are equal or almost equal.

04

heat

Lettuce is a cold-hardy crop that loves temperatures on the cooler side and can tolerate shade. In early spring, lettuce grows faster if planted in full sun

05

HARVESTING

Harvest lettuce in the morning when full-size but young and tender. Check your garden everyday for ready-to-harvest leaves; mature lettuce gets bitter and woody and will go bad quickly.
