Lettuce question

Lettuce are my nightmare crop, but I am very popular with the slugs 

I have been looking at grow bags suitable for salads so that I can have them at home, and I wondered if they would be OK in washing up bowls (with suitable drainage holes).
I guess the roots are not too deep, and I have a couple of old bowls, and unless I am mistaken they have them in Poundland. It is only for the two of us.

Any opinions, is there a problem I haven't seen.

Thanks

No problem with the growing - but the slugs/snails will still want to eat them 

I seem to remember someone saying they grew them in gutting

That sounds very gruesome for a simple lettuce! 

Is this the first mention in 2014 of that Winter festival that we can't mention on here until much nearer December?

I've got washing up tubs full of salads, works very well raised of the ground on a frame to keep the slimeys off- but the little s*ds hide under the rim....cat litter trays on the other hand are rimless 

If the slugs are having your young seedlings, an alternative could be to buy a "living salad" from Lidl, split it up and plant that. They're only 99p and the plants are big enough to fight off the slugs. I do it in the polytunnel in February when I'm running out of other lettuce and it works great, you can get about 30 plantings from each tray.

I grow my lettuce on a raised bed (that still gets slugs)  but I put a few slug pellets around hem and don't have any problem. Maybe not the done thing but it works for me .

I have used lidl living salad as seedlings. Normally buy a strip eat half and plant the others.
Good way to supplement your own seedlings at modest cost
