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.
actually, I think this rot, in the small head lettuce, is caused by water that is held within the basin created by the lettuce leaves. I do like to put down a think layer of compost over a thiner layer of rock dust, myself. -Allan
