I love this pretty trout lettuce, see the little spots? They belong there! This type of lettuce also grew for me in the winter
Just a few of the kinds of lettuce I took from my salad box for dinner last night

How I mix up my Mel's mix soil
If I can't help you directly try following my step by step method 1. lay out your tarp, 2 open one bag of compost and spread thinly across your tarp. 3. tap out any lumps 4. open another bag of compost and spread it over the first taping out lumps. 5. add your peat moss to the tarp and spread it over the compost, once again taping out the lumps. 6. Carefuly grab an end of the tarp and lift it up and help the mix on the tarp mix together. 7 When mixing move from both ends and the two sides. when you can't move the piled up soil any more spread it thinly over the tarp again. 8. Add in the rest of the compost and mix completely by lifting the tarp and letting the mix roll over it's self . 9. add in vermiculite, spread gently over the whole tarp. We don't want to brake this up any more than we have to. Gently move the tarp back forward to mix and gently spread it over the tarp thinly and mix again.Spread the mix out across the tarp again 10 When it all looks like salt and pepper it's ready. Add it to your garden box. You can mix 4 cubic feet of compost, 4 cubic feet or peat moss and 4 cubic feet of Vermiculite in one batch.
