How do you wash your loose leaf lettuce?

[Carol Dee]

Thanks everyone for the information on diatamatious earth. Gotta stop those nasty slugs before they ruin any more.

Ah-ha I got some at the local garden supply store. Watch out slugs!!!

I need me a salad spinner... what a good investment that would be.

But I'm cheap!

I have a redneck salad spinner. It's a clean dish towel attached to the end of my arm. Pile the lettuce on the towel, grab the ends, like a baby in a stork sling, step outside and whirl away. Just make sure you have a good grip on the towel ends or you'll be washin' lettuce twice!

thistlebloom, from one redneck to another, NICE!

I don't know about other places, but most places I've ever lived (in US and Canada) it is not at all difficult to find a salad spinner at thrift stores or garage sales, for $2 or less as compared to a LOT more brand-new. Highly recommend the thrift store or garage sale approach
