Editorial Policy

Sourcing

Priority is given to university extension services, government agriculture departments, botanical research institutions, and openly licensed material. Each fact records its source and retrieval date.

Verification

• Numeric values must include a unit and the conditions they apply to.
• Conflicting sources are marked as unresolved rather than averaged.
• Pesticide dosing, food safety and structural safety are always reviewed by a human before publication.

Use of AI

AI assists with research organisation, drafting and translation. AI output is never treated as evidence. No article is published without human approval, and the site does not present AI-generated experience as first-hand experience.

Corrections and retractions

Errors are corrected with a visible note. Content that cannot be verified is retracted rather than silently edited. Version history is retained.

Independence

Commercial relationships, if any, do not affect sourcing or recommendations. Advertising, when introduced, is clearly separated from editorial content.
