Hi
My name is Bill, i am a novice to veg gardening. I have been told by a experienced gardener that the best way to combat aphids on lettuce is to boil a lettuce and spray other lettuce with the liquid.
Happy gardening

Have just been searching for some tips on planting lettuce and found a helpful tip about combination planting. Apparently planting lettuce alongside chervil keeps away aphids, whether this includes the root variety not sure.

Hi MTP. Sorry to hear about your lettuces – it sounds like you’re planning to become a “Lettuce Baron”. That’s be cool!

Anyway, just a quick note to say “you been tagged”.

How awful! I know from what you’ve said before how much you like your salads. Maybe we can all join forces and club together to buy some of these resistant lettuces?!

I hope your lettuces win the good fight this year. Home grown lettuce, rushed from the plot to the kitchen, are one of those crops that beat the pants off limp overpriced tasteless supermarket lettuce.
