Pots & Soil container gardening, honestly

Affiliate disclosure

How this site makes money, in plain language.

Pots & Soil is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and a handful of smaller affiliate programmes, including garden tool manufacturers such as Radius Garden. That means some links here are tracked, and if you buy through one I earn a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same.

What the commission does and doesn't change

  • It does not change the ranking in a review. Products are ordered by how they performed, full stop.
  • It does not buy a mention. No brand has paid to appear here, and no brand sees a review before it's published.
  • It does not stop me saying a product is bad. Several things in the comparison tables on this site are there specifically so you don't buy them.

How things get tested

I buy what I test, out of my own money, and I say how long I used it and in what conditions — usually a 4×6 balcony in a temperate climate, which is not every climate. Where I haven't tested something myself, the page says so and explains what the recommendation is based on instead: manufacturer specs, primary-source guidance, or a reader who uses it daily.

Questions

If a disclosure here isn't clear enough, email hello@potsandsoil.com and I'll fix the wording.
