lettuce rotting
« on: June 08, 2009, 22:14 »
Hi there peeps, i ahve planted some lettuce and they looked fantastic, i went to pull one up today and the base and half the bottom of the lettuce was completley rotten.

Does anyone have any ideas at to what is causing this? They are in large deep raised beds and watered nightly.

Thanks
Mike

If you are watering them every day thats prob too much for them. This could cause rot.
