Editorial method
How a guide gets its steps, how a future product note will be labeled, and who fixes a mistake.
Sources
Growing instructions prefer university extension services and public agencies: Penn State, Maryland, Utah State, Mississippi State, Iowa State, Illinois, Cornell, the University of California, the University of Massachusetts, LSU AgCenter, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, among others. A claim that names a number should name the page it came from, including the tray size that page used.
A blog, a seed seller, or a product page is not used as the source of a sowing rate. Seller pages may later document what a package contains, after the package is checked.
Evidence labels
- Published guidance. The sentence restates an extension or agency page, with a link.
- Diagram. A drawing of that method. It is not a photograph of a crop grown for this site.
- Licensed photo. Someone else's photograph, credited, used to show what a crop or place can look like. The caption says it is not our trial.
- User-entered number. A price or a sowing rate you typed into the calculator. It is not a market survey.
- Firsthand test. Not used yet. When it is, the page will list the question, the method, the count of trays, and the limits.
Products, gifts, and commissions
No product is recommended on the live site yet, and no affiliate link is live. When that changes, a card will name the exact item, who it suits, one limitation, the evidence label, and the date the link was checked. Gifted products will be labeled as gifts. Paid placements are not accepted. A normal commission link, if one is added, will be disclosed on the page before the link and will use a sponsored relationship marker.
Prices will be shown only when the source and the program rules allow it, with the date. Historical extension prices stay labeled as historical. They are not current offers.
Updates and corrections
Ryan Moalemi owns product checks, corrections, and content updates. Write to ryan@smallspacegreens.com. A corrected sentence keeps the source link. A removed product stays off the page until someone checks the replacement.
