Independent notes for ecological growersResearch edition September 2026
Our approach

Good questions
come first.

Ecological farming deserves useful, careful reporting. We keep a claim close to the source and ask what it means on a particular piece of ground.

01 / Read the source

Evidence has a setting.

Crop, soil, climate, management, and study design matter. A laboratory result or supplier demonstration cannot settle every field question.

02 / Show the limits

A label should tell you something.

“Source-checked guide” means the principal sources were reviewed for the current edit. Source scope and dates are retained with each guide. It does not mean independent field testing. “Research draft” means the supplied text still needs review.

03 / Keep the record

Dates belong to their source.

Study dates, research preparation, and our review dates are distinct. This local edition has no historical site publication dates. We do not invent interviews or farm visits.

04 / Make it useful

Bring the local questions.

Our worksheets expose their assumptions. Source regions describe the evidence, not a guarantee of suitability. Check materials and current rules with your certifier or extension adviser.

A working edition.
