Try to grow lettuce in a large and shallow flowerpot. Lettuce belongs to shallow-rooted plants. Too deep a flowerpot will waste soil and grow lettuce fertilizer. It is more important to choose organic fertilizers such as fermented cattle and sheep manure, skin manure and chicken manure. Spread a layer of organic fertilizer on the bottom of the flowerpot, then cover it with soil, and finally sow. Don't let the fertilizer touch the seeds directly, it will burn them all.
