About SeedBattle

SeedBattle is a free seed encyclopedia for people who grow at home, on a balcony, a windowsill or a small plot. Each seed page answers the practical questions: when to sow, how deep, how long until it sprouts, how much sun it needs, whether it grows in a pot and whether it’s safe around pets. Every answer is researched and reviewed by our editors.

Counted from the published pages, so these grow as new seeds go live.

Where the information comes from

Every growing fact on SeedBattle is researched and reviewed by our editors. When we can’t confirm a fact, the page says “Not yet verified” instead of guessing.

How pages are written and checked

We use AI to help with the research. Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, reads the research material and drafts each page, noting what supports every fact so our editors can check it.

Every page is reviewed before it goes live, and a fact we couldn’t confirm is shown as “Not yet verified” instead of guessed. Every page shows when it was last updated, and it’s signed “SeedBattle Editors”, the team behind the pages.

Photos

Our plant photos come from free-to-use photo libraries, or are openly licensed. We host every photo ourselves. Where a license asks for credit, the photographer and license are shown on the page. The 3D plant images are our own renders of free-to-use 3D models.
