A complete randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replications was used to determine the growth performance of lettuce grown in different level of vermicast mixture as growing medium. The result showed that plant height, number leaves per plant, plant weight and total yield were significantly influenced by the different level of vermicast. Tallest plants with most numbers of leaves and greatest yield was exhibited by lettuce planted in 75% vermicast + 25% garden soil medium. This medium consistently excelled in all the treatments evaluated.
