Why does my lettuce produce new leaves on top but the bottom leaves turn yellow and wilts? Looks like it is growing well, since new leave appear all the time, but the bottom leaves then wilts... What should I do, or what am I doing wrong?

Your lettuce is probably getting too much sun or its too dry... try putting them in a more shady spot and watering plenty?
