Use this method to create more space in your garden by overlapping your plantings. While one vegetable is still growing and you are still taking harvests, in this case lettuce, you can pop new transplants between them.

You will be surprised if you have not done this before by how fast the new plantings grow. Especially in no dig soil.
That's probably because of the mycelial network, with existing plants helping the new ones. It's cooperation not competition.
My experience with this practice over many years suggests that it can be used a lot more. Soon we shall be interplanting chervil and coriander between French beans and lettuce, and we have interplanted Florence fennel between cucumbers which soon finish.
