Everyplace I've ever lived has had small veggie gardens. It would never fail, everyone would always chime in on "Why do you do it that way"? or "Oh, you should really bla bla bla".

I used to politely ask them, "Oh, you garden too, how interesting, can I see your garden"? Answer "Me? Um, er huh, well I don't have a garden right now but bla bla bla".

Now I first explain what I'm doing, how there are many ways to garden, and then I put the exclamation point on it by telling them it's really NONE of their business at all and that I'm just explaining it to be nice. I don't' really say it as politely as it sounds but it's a half step better than saying F off.

I digress, sounds great what you're doing. There is no such thing as bad research. Please pardon our male bother as his ego may be making him overbearing or controlling.
