compost they're grown in (if different) may be slightly more costly,
but that would add maybe 1p to the whole tray! But while I can
understand fully grown organic veg being more expensive as their
care, treatment and harvesting take more man hours, this is
absolutely not the case with lettuce plants a couple of inches high.
This gives organic growers a bad name though thankfully, not all do
this.
