Growing Lettuce, Rocket Etc

[RocW]

I've decided to grow some salad leaves this year.  I've never done so before.  I thought of growing them in trays but I have no idea how deep the roots go down.  Has anyone any advice please?

Luckily, lettuce does have shallow roots, so you can get away with a smaller container than the average vegetable. Ideally, you want something that is a 3-gallon or larger or a minimum depth of 10-12 inches. And if you love your lettuce, please please ensure your container has drainage holes

This is from Google.

I've grown them in shallow trays in the conservatory in Winter - unfortunately I hadn't reckoned on my cat using them as litter trays.......      I've also used those tomato bags, you can get lots in them and sow successively.

Thanks to all.  The video was very interesting.  I am going to start growing lettuce today.
