Hiya, was advised by the garden centre to use the fleecxe as it will keep
down on insects as the plants are very small. Should I not use it do you

Why are you using fleece on lettuce at this time of year I wonder? I would
use a few slug pellets, there's not much I use like that but if I didn't
use
them they'd be gone, 'Just like that'
