Recommended Growing Medium & Compost

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with well-decomposed compost. Lettuce prefers soil that retains moisture while allowing excess water to drain away.

For containers, use a quality vegetable potting mix with compost added to provide organic matter.

Recommended Fertiliser

Apply a balanced vegetable fertiliser during active growth to encourage healthy leafy development. A suitable nitrogen-containing fertiliser can support lush foliage. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended application rate.
