how many romaine in 8 pod system

Nice setup, airscapes!  For me, I would probably try 4, placing them so to keep some air and space around them.  I prefer to pick just before we use it, and we don't always pick a great deal every day.  Sometimes just enough for sandwiches or side salad.  I find if they start to get crowded, I can not see what is going on with the lower leaves, if they get overcrowded.  And, it might not be too pretty when I can get into it, if you know what I mean.  

But, everyone is different.  If you plan to harvest daily, when they are larger...or if you plan to just harvest a whole head at once, you can probably get away with more.  If you wish to harvest leaves from the outside over a longer period of time, fewer might work out best.

So, I guess it is more of a trial and error.  See what works best for you.  I suppose, if you plant too many, you can always remove a plant, here and there?  

I think I will go with 4 to start, as was said, can always clear cut one and eat it if they get too crowded.   I am guessing we will harvest what we need and come back for more as it regrows.  Since my wife switched life styles for a LOW Carb diet to lower A1C to normal and forgo drugs and insulin, we eat a lot more salad than a year ago.  She is picky, so hopefully this romaine will taste like what she buys at the store .. other wise she may not eat it..  No harm in trying.. 

Let's hear it for picky eaters!

Betcha your wife loves the romaine. Fresh AG lettuce tastes much better than the store-bought stuff, in this picky eater's opinion.

I would say start eating and enjoying.  But please my all means wait for others to add their comment.  They look great airscapes!

Go for it!  Sandwiches, salad, whatever...and report back!  

Hi Mike!   Looks like 2 is really the best number for this size box..   Next round I think I will  do a tub with either 3 or 4 holes.   Will give me a chance to design a new method of  water deliver.  Wife was in the ER this past week (hip dislocation) and I grabbed all the tubing from the IV and O2 so wanted to do something with it. Then again a couple air stones is really all that is needed.. but where is the fun in that!    We have yet to try eating any of this crop, still eating what I grew outside.. 

I will be planting lettuce in one side of my farm.  I think I left spaces in my layout.  I need to revisit before planting,.

I made the mistake of planting all nine pods of romaine in my Bounty elite. I just started a new one with three pods. I also planted the salad greens pods in my other two Bounty's,they look awesome. The pic is 30 days after planting The salad greens.
