Lettuce gardening tips for beginners in the Philippines who wants to plant and grow lettuce at home. This video is also for urban gardeners and container gardeners who want to have their own LETTUCE GARDEN.
How to plant lettuce from seeds? Paano magtanim ng lettuce mul sa buto?
I have shared in this video the soil requirements for lettuce, seed germination techniques, and fertilizer used in the 30 Day growing time for Red Leaf Lettuce and Lolla Bionda Loose Leaf Lettuce.
I am using 8 and 12oz plastic cups due to limited soil supply but if you want to plant your lettuce in bigger containers or plastic bottles, it is much better.
As I mentioned in my video, below is my recipe for ORGANIC INSECTICIDE:
1 liter of water
10 drops of dishwashing soap
1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 teaspoon of Neem Oil (any kind of oil)
3 pcs of Siling Labuyo (crushed)
Mix them together and wait for 24 hours before using.
To avoil “burning” the leaves, spray it late inntge afternoon. In case you over spray, you can spray or wash it of with plain water in the morning.
As added precaution, use 50/50 ration in your first try. 50 % water - 50% solution in your spray bottle. You can adjust as needed. Use at least twice a week or as needed.
For EPSOM SALT SPRAY AS SLUGS AND SNAIL DETERRENT, the ration is:
1 liter of water - 1 tablespoon of Epsom Salt
Use it once or twice a week. Spray it on the soil 2 inches away from the plant. Also you can spray it in the container or anywhere the slugs and snails may use to walk on.
Feel free to COMMENT for any questions, I’m happy to respond quickly.
