Lettuce
« on: March 31, 2014, 19:04 »
If I was to grow lettuce in containers, what is the minimum depth I could get away with.
I have seen them grown in guttering in a magazine, but my peas are in there!
I just want the convenience of having a few lettuces at home, and have plenty of plastic boxes etc lurking around  :lol:

 :ohmy: useful stuff like that never gets thrown out around here, either that or there's an active group of allotmenteers wombling the stuff before I see it.
