I grew to many lettuce over winter and the last 6 are past their best. Can I tear them apart, including the roots and throw them in the compost bin or must the roots be excluded ?

Thanks again MG, job done already.

Alternatively, you could have made lettuce soup and frozen it down. Lots of tasty recipes on the 'net. :)

Have never heard of lettuce soup R, but will certainly look up the recipe you mentioned. I always end up with too many lettuce.

Just pull them up, roots and all, and put in your compost bin - they don't need tearing up was they will rapidly rot down.
