The following winter storage methods for lettuce are introduced for reference.
Lettuce temporary planting storage method:
At harvest, pull the lettuce up by the roots, let it dry briefly in the sun or store it temporarily in a shaded spot for a short time.
When storing, dig a temporary planting trench 1-1.3 m wide and 0.8 m deep (0.5 m underground, 0.3 m above ground).
Select healthy, robust lettuce that is undamaged, disease-free and has not bolted, remove the outer leaves, keep the top 7-8 leaves, and set it temporarily in the bed or trench.
During temporary planting, cover with soil to bury 2/3 of the lettuce, then stand it upright and firm it down, leaving slight gaps between plants and a row spacing of about 10 cm to allow ventilation.
After temporary planting is finished, cover the top of the bed (trench) with a thin mat or a single layer of sorghum stalks, uncover the mat at night to let air in, and add more soil cover when the weather turns cold.
