Allan,
I never have had rot and I water overhead. One thing I do, perhaps, that
helps with that is I have an inch or so of commercially prepared compost
that I put on my salad greens beds. It doesn't splash up on the leaves
like plain soil does. I dunno. I'm still a bit of a green horn.

In reply to:
I'm running into a fair amount of unanticipated trouble keeping my
cutting mix lettuce beds watered.
What's happening is that I'm getting rot on the lower leaves of
buttercrunch-type lettuces. My customers like the fluffy head
lettuces in the mix, so I include them. I'm also getting some areas
of the beds that just fall down. I assume that this is a fungus, also
due to watering from overhead.
