I soak my mix in Cold water for 1-2 hours...spin dry...pack 6 oz. into
gallon bags...no holes...I roll down the tops like a dry bag to trap in a
bit of air to help prevent damage. keep and bring to market in coolers
with 2 frozen blue fake ice packs on the bottom with a towel between the
ice and bags.
At market for display, I place another 2 ice packs with decorative towel
into a flat basket and keep 3 bags out at a time...replace from cooler as
sold.
People won't buy if they can't see it.
Sora in Paradise Valley where it is 97 degrees, at
least 20 degrees above normal, and the lettuce is
ready to bolt...me too
