It helps. I have also read that taking the live lettuce and placing it in the fridge for a week triggers the plant to remove the bitter substances in its leaves. I have also never tried this. I'm sure stucco has a trick or maybe he's using a summer lettuce? If so, which one works in FL? I would like to know!
