Lettuce in pots

[Jan P]

will a 41ninch deep pan suffice for leaf lettuce and radishes?

[Dillbert]

I'm thinking there's a typo there - 4 inches deep?

4" will work - one of my tricks for lettuce(s) is to use a windowsill plastic box - half & half garden soil & sterile mix. I can seed / start indoors and then just set the whole window box flush with the soil when they can go out.

The lettuce will be fine, but it's pushing it with the Radish...depends on the kind though.

If 41 inch, more than enough. If only 4 inch you could do lettuce and small round radishes. Although they could wind up a little stunted.

Unless it's a very large container, the soil will dry out quickly and frequently, which may not make for tasty lettuce or radish. I think at least 6" deep is better.
