Terms of use

Using this site

The Homestead Shelf publishes editorial opinion and research about consumer products. By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

No medical advice

Content on this site is educational and is not medical advice. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. Descriptions of traditional or historical plant use are statements about history, not claims of effect. Plants can be toxic, can be misidentified, and can interact with medication. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before using any herbal preparation, and never use a plant medicinally without expert identification.

We are not the seller

We review products we do not sell. Purchases are made from third-party sellers under their own terms. Pricing, availability, delivery, support, warranties, guarantees and refunds are entirely the responsibility of that seller and their payment processor.

Prices and product details quoted on this site were accurate when written and may change without notice. Always check the seller's own page before buying.

Affiliate relationships

We earn commissions on some purchases made through links on this site. See our full disclosure.

Accuracy and opinion

We research carefully and correct errors when they are pointed out. Ratings and assessments are editorial opinion. Growing guidance reflects general horticultural practice — results vary with climate, soil, season and technique, and we cannot guarantee outcomes in your garden.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Homestead Shelf is not liable for any loss arising from use of this site or reliance on its content, including decisions to purchase or not purchase any product.
