Botanical nameLactuca sativa
Green leaf lettuce on seed tape (Lactuca sativa) simplifies direct sowing with approximately 350 seeds pre-spaced between two very thin layers of biodegradable fibre. The tape is 6 metres long and can be cut to fit a row or container. W.H. Perron states an untreated formulation and approximately 55 days to maturity after sowing. Plants form elongated leaf rosettes with green, crisp, mild leaves. Regular density limits overseeding and reduces thinning while producing an orderly row in a vegetable garden or large container. The format is especially convenient when handling individual lettuce seed would be difficult.
Make a small furrow in rich, loose, well-drained soil. Lay the tape flat, moisten it to ensure contact with the bottom, then cover it with a thin layer of growing mix, approximately 6 mm. Space rows 40 to 45 cm apart. Direct sow outdoors when soil can be worked, including 7 to 10 days after the last ground frost, then repeat every two weeks to stagger harvests. Lettuce requires sun and consistent moisture; during summer heat, light afternoon shade helps limit stress and premature bolting. Keep every tape section covered during germination.
Enrich the bed with compost, well-rotted manure, or a high-nitrogen fertilizer used according to its label. Mulch after plants establish to preserve cool soil, reduce weeds, and stabilize moisture. Harvest the leaf rosette when firm, preferably early in the morning. Cut it slightly above soil level; the base may sometimes produce a second flush late in summer. Wash and dry the leaves, then keep them for approximately one week in a clean bag in the refrigerator. Avoid allowing leaf rosettes to become bitter or bolt. Record sowing dates so each succession can be harvested at its best stage.

Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Soil pH
6.0 to 7.0
Minimum temperature
Tolerates light frost
Care level
Easy
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist without saturation, especially during germination and leaf rosette formation. Water gently at soil level so tape is not displaced or exposed. Mulch after emergence to slow evaporation. Check containers and hot-weather crops more often. Water stress encourages bitterness and bolting, while prolonged saturation weakens roots and reduces airflow in the soil. Record dates and adjust watering to actual soil and weather conditions.
Soil type
Choose rich, loose, cool, well-drained soil amended with mature compost. Level the surface finely so the tape remains fully in contact with the bottom of the furrow. Avoid compacted or waterlogged ground, which slows emergence and weakens roots. A light mulch applied after emergence then helps preserve even moisture and keeps the root zone cooler during warm weather and dry periods.
Fertilization
Before sowing, incorporate mature compost or well-rotted manure. Lettuce responds to moderate nitrogen that supports foliage; use an appropriate fertilizer according to its label without overdosing. In containers, divide applications and water before feeding. Stop if foliage becomes excessively soft or salts accumulate on the surface. Maintain consistent moisture after every application. Record dates and adjust watering to actual soil and weather conditions. Check drainage, soil coolness, and leaf rosette firmness regularly.
Moisture
Consistent moisture without waterlogging
