Mulched my lettuce with basalt chips after seeing how well it was growing in the drive at gardening customers house . The drive chips were limestone though, which will make things more alkaline and lock up minerals so this should work better.

Hang on, I just read this again on my other feed and… growing lettuce in your driveway? Surely it’s going to get manky from exhaust fumes?
The wind blew the seed I was planting on to the drive I didn't really think anything of it then a few months later the lettuce appeared, seemingly doing better than the other stuff!. Lettuce generally seems not too keen on heavier mulches so up until now I stuck to using only compost. Compost is still a good mulch but it doesn't seem quite as effective at blocking weeds especially in the longer run so I thought I would adapt the observation...
Genial para os meus morangos ....
