4. Use Good Soil
The soil you use can make or break your plants, and lettuce is no exception. Lettuce isn’t a picky plant and typically grows well in most conditions. Still, if you want the best results, you should make sure your lettuce is planted in the best soil possible.
If you have previously grown lettuce in the soil, don’t use it for new plants. You need to move them to different soil. You should also make sure the soil you use is moist and full of nutrients. The nutrients give your lettuce the boost it needs to grow strong, and the moist soil will ensure it doesn’t get too dry and the roots don’t rot quickly.
You should also consider adding fertilizer to the soil to increase the potassium and nitrogen in the soil. If you do decide to use fertilizer, you will need to monitor the PH levels to make sure they are appropriate.
