Transparency and Trust
Welcome to KC Backyard Garden Guy , your trusted source for expert backyard gardening tips, rare tomato and pepper varieties, and honest product recommendations for home gardeners.
As part of our commitment to transparency and compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, this page outlines how affiliate links may be used on this site and what that means for you as a valued reader.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you click through and make a qualifying purchase — at no extra cost to you. These commissions help support the ongoing effort to provide high-quality, free content to the gardening community.
Why I Use Affiliate Links
My goal at KC Backyard Garden Guy is to empower home gardeners with practical advice, in-depth variety guides, and reliable reviews of gardening tools and supplies. To sustain this project, I participate in select affiliate marketing programs with companies and brands I trust.
I only promote products that:
I have personally used or thoroughly researched
Are relevant to backyard gardening, seed saving, or sustainable growing
Offer real value to my readers
These include, but are not limited to, links to gardening tools, seeds, raised bed supplies, composters, and other items I reference in my content.
My Commitment to Honest Recommendations
Affiliate partnerships do not influence the integrity of my content. Every review, tutorial, or product suggestion on this site is based on personal experience, independent testing, or honest feedback from the gardening community.
I do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews. My affiliate relationships are solely designed to help support my work and keep the site growing — just like your garden.
