Here is a great video I found some 7 years ago by the king of magic cardboard & compost aka (No Dig) Charles Dowding, who does explain these things really well.
Lettuce plants can produce for months when harvested by hand (no knife!) and kept tidy (fewer slugs!), I show you the method here. You also see the results of an experiment with different composts for sowing, how to plant and the use of covers to protect from weather and pests. Plus the beds are no dig for few weeds and high quality growth. Varieties at the end are Saragossa and Bijou. 00:00 Introduction 01:01 Mix of compost, an experiment 08:25 Pricking out a week later 13:11 Planting out 22:31 Fleece and watering 23:39 Harvesting
