Lettuce must be grown correctly so that the plant does not become bitter.
In this article we will tell you where and how to grow lettuce in the garden.
Where to plant lettuce in the garden
Choose the sunniest place for the lettuce bed; there should be no shading.
Good precursors for salad are tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, and legumes.
Lettuce cannot be sown in the same bed two years in a row.
To plant lettuce in open ground, the weather must be warm without frost.
This culture is so unpretentious that it is not even necessary to allocate a separate bed for it.
It can be planted as a compacting crop for tomatoes, peppers, cabbage and other vegetables or green crops.
The main thing is enough space and sunlight.
In addition, after planting, the lettuce should be watered.
What soil is suitable for growing lettuce
Fertile, moderately heavy, low-salt loams with a high percentage of organic matter are considered optimal.
The crop also grows well on light loams with a neutral, slightly acidic reaction.
