How to grow lettuce: sow, plant, protect plus the Charles Dowding picking method

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pgcvN6TuE8Lettuce plants can produce for months when harvested by hand (no knife!) and kept tidy (fewer slugs!), I show you the method here. You also see the results of an experiment with different composts for sowing, how to plant and the use of covers to protect from weather and pests. Plus the beds are no dig for few weeds and high quality growth. Varieties at the end are Saragossa and Bijou.
