Recommended Growing Medium & Compost

Plant into fertile, well-drained soil enriched with well-decomposed compost. Lettuce performs best in soil that holds moisture while still allowing excess water to drain away.

For containers, use a quality vegetable potting mix enriched with compost.

Recommended Fertiliser

Use a balanced vegetable fertiliser during active growth to encourage healthy leafy development. A nitrogen-containing fertiliser can be beneficial for leafy crops; apply according to the manufacturer's recommended rate.

Growing Conditions

• ☀️ Light: Full sun to partial shade

• 🌱 Soil: Fertile, moisture-retentive and well drained
• 🌿 Spacing: Allow sufficient space between seedlings for the heads to develop
• 🥬 Harvest: Harvest outer leaves as required or harvest the whole plant once mature
