I've been trying the donkey shoes to germinate lettuce without any success at all. Is there something I can do to break that dormancy thank
my only thing with this is, you can plant much more dense. i planted mine 2 inches apart and they are thriving
Thanks for this immense knowledge on vegetables. I will never be same again.

lettuce is something i havent eaten in years, ever since i watched a video on how they make fake lettuce out of SLIME. they poured this slime into a pot of water, swirled it around for a second and BAM, real looking fake lettuce leaves. it was horrendous. i will never eat lettuce i dont personally grow again because of how REAL it looked! so im going to have a go and try to grow some myself. i figure everywhere does this now, since its so easy and cheap to make i dont see why any restaurants would buy real lettuce again. you can find it by typing in fake lettuce and lots of videos about it pop up here on youtube. ICK!!!
Sure like to see US gardeners n zone 6,7 nd not ALL UK video.

Thank you Ben
This is my garden headache
I eat loads of salad yet can not grow lettuce.
But armed with your advice, I'm going to try
For the lettuce growers out there, give Frisee a try! Aka: 'Curly Endive'. I've found it germinates well and has stronger seedlings than more delicate lettuces making it more durable especially with transplanting. It's a delicacy and you won't find it in stores or farms around here but you may in a fancy restaurant! Wonderful for adding to Spring/Mesclun mix for lovely salads.
I confess, I get confused by compost nomenclature, which I know varies between countries: potting soil/compost; multipurpose soil/compost; sowing soil/compost for seeds.
I don't thin as such. I simply harvest small leaves for baby salad. It's so fulfilling to see the leaves I leave grow bigger until my next round of harvests.
You plant 3-5 seeds per plug but it looks like you are planting 1 plant into the ground. Do you thin then out when they germinate? Also how long between plug and planting?
