Affiliate disclosure

Last updated: October 3, 2026

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

What this means

Chris The Amateur Gardener is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

When you click a product link on this site and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be if you went to Amazon directly. Commissions help cover hosting, tools, and the products I buy to test.

Which links are affiliate links

Links to Amazon (including short links that start with amzn.to) are affiliate links. Buttons labeled "Check price on Amazon" and product names on the My Gear page and in articles are typically affiliate links. Pages that contain them also carry a short notice.

How I choose products

  • In my garden: products I currently use in my own garden.
  • Now testing: products I'm actively trying. These pages share my test plan and are updated with results. Being on this list is not yet a recommendation.

Commissions do not influence which products I use, how I rate them, or whether they stay on the site. I do not accept payment for positive reviews.

Prices and availability

Prices, availability, and product details are set by Amazon and sellers and can change at any time. Always check the current listing on Amazon before buying.
