Lettuce 'Oakleaf' Heirloom Seeds
Lettuce 'Oakleaf' Heirloom Seeds
A heading type of lettuce - although best to be picked leaf by leaf - that is large, tender and good for salads. Not bitter, it will please fussy salad eaters, and is not fussy itself with growing requirements. It copes well in many soil types and in partially shaded spaces. Its main requirement is water.

Position: Full sun, but will tolerate some shade.
Soil: Prepare with compost and well-rotted manure and allow the soil to settle for 1-2 weeks before planting. Fresh manure has a tendency to burn younger lettuce seedlings, so incorporating a green manure in your soil as part of the preparation is also ideal.
Soil pH Level: 6.5-7.5
How to Plant: Use a free draining soil well integrated with compost or good quality potting mix when growing in pots. Plant in rows or scatter sow - depending on what sort of person you are - keeping them well hydrated throughout their lifetime. Will appreciate a fortnightly tonic of liquid seaweed fertiliser.
Spacing: 15-20cm
Depth: 0.5-1cm

Companion Plants: Radish, Bean, Carrot
