How we put
our guides together.

We aim for practical, readable guidance with clear limits. This page explains what readers can expect from Harvest in Pots.

Research and sources

We prioritize university extension publications and other established horticultural resources. References appear at the end of each guide; revised guides also link important claims to the relevant source. We check growing conditions, quantities, source links, and worked calculations before publishing substantive changes. Our checklists, examples, and tools help apply growing principles to small spaces. A regional source’s planting month is not automatically a planting month for every U.S. reader.

AI assistance and illustrations

Our guides are prepared with AI assistance. Our article images include AI-generated illustrations and original instructional diagrams. Diagram captions explain schematic details, and source links lead to authoritative reference photographs when identification matters. Images show the intended atmosphere or general subject; they are not records of our harvests, proof of a product’s performance, or diagnostic photographs. Plant care instructions take priority over incidental visual details.

Experience and recommendations

We do not invent experiments, qualifications, testimonials, yields, or product tests. When a future article describes a firsthand growing trial, it should include its location or conditions, dates, method, and original photographs. Sponsored or affiliate material, if introduced, will be identified where it appears.

Corrections

Found an error? Send the page URL and the detail that needs attention. We aim to correct substantive mistakes and record meaningful changes. Substantive guide revisions include a dated update note; the original publication date is retained. An automated editorial check is not an independent horticulturist’s review. A publication date reflects publication, not a claim of a long testing history.

Advertising

Advertising may help support this publication. Ads will be marked as advertising and kept separate from our gardening guidance. We do not ask readers to click ads to support us.
