My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Kratky Method Lettuce

11 years ago

I have been growing lettuce indoors using the Kratky method for several months now. I have gotten lots of questions about it and so I put together a web page with some basic information.

crdahl.com/lettuce

This is by no means a complete reference, but I think it has enough to get someone started.

    but it works and cost very little to setup. I have had fresh lettuce growing all winter in my basement
