   Thats wrong. Plenty of plant diseases are bacteria.

   What bugs ?  Its more important to get rid of agricultural chemicals.

   Because lettuce lasts longer in the fridge in a container that keep the   
   leaves moist.

   Absolutely guaranteed to not be as crisp.

   It isnt bacteria that is the problem, it is that the leaves dont last as   
   long.
